System and method for illuminating a path for an object by a vehicle

A system for illuminating a path for an object by a vehicle, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more lights in communication with the one or more processors;
• one or more sensors in communication with the one or more processors, the one or more sensors configured to detect the object and generate one or more signals based on a detection of the object;
• a memory device in communication with the one or more processors, the memory device comprising an object detection module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to identify a presence of the object based on the one or more signals generated by the one or more sensors and determine object movement information of the object based on the one or more signals generated by the one or more sensors;
• and
• the memory device further comprising an illumination module, the illumination module having instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to illuminate using the one or more lights an area for the object based on the object movement information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for illuminating a path for an object by a vehicle having one or more lights, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• identify a presence of an object, wherein the object is external to the vehicle;
• determine object movement information of the object;
• and
• illuminate an area for the object based on the object movement information.
