Vehicle lighting system

A method for a vehicle, comprising:

• outputting, via a loudspeaker, an audio content;
• providing a lighting effect output via a lighting device based on the audio content;
• determining an amplitude gradient using a minimum amplitude and a maximum amplitude of the audio content in a past time period, wherein the amplitude gradient includes a plurality of levels;
• determining a future amplitude of the audio content to be played at a future time;
• determining a corresponding level of the amplitude gradient that the future amplitude corresponds to;
• and
• adjusting the output of the lighting effect using the corresponding level, such that a speed of the output and the corresponding level of the lighting effect are positively correlated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a vehicle, cause the vehicle to:

• output, via a loudspeaker, an audio content;
• provide, via a lighting device, a lighting effect output via the lighting device using an audio content;
• determine an amplitude gradient using a minimum amplitude and a maximum amplitude of the audio content in a past time period, wherein the amplitude gradient includes a plurality of levels;
• determine a future amplitude of the audio content to be played at a future time;
• determine a corresponding level of the amplitude gradient that the future amplitude corresponds to;
• and
• adjust, via the lighting device, the lighting effect using the corresponding level, such that a speed of the lighting effect and the corresponding level are correlated.
