A system comprising:
- a first power net in a vehicle electrically coupled to a first control unit that controls first lights included in a second light set when the first power net is operational;
- and
- a second power net in the vehicle electrically coupled to the second light set and a second control unit that controls the first lights when the first power net includes a fault condition.
A system comprising:
- a first power net in a vehicle electrically coupled to a primary power brake system that controls brake lights when the first power net is operational;
- and
- a second power net in the vehicle electrically coupled and providing power to the brake lights and a secondary power brake system that controls the brake lights when the first power net includes a fault condition.
A system comprising:
- a first power net in a vehicle electrically coupled to an autonomous vehicle platform module that controls autonomous vehicle light bars when the first power net is operational;
- and
- a second power net in the vehicle electrically coupled to the autonomous vehicle light bars and a secondary light control system that controls the autonomous vehicle light bars when the first power net includes a fault condition.
