  • Patent number: 10821879
    Abstract: A vehicle equipped with analysing means that analyse a zone (ZA) located in front of the vehicle is equipped with a lighting device (DE). This device (DE) comprises: —a first source (S1) that generates first photons and a reflector (RP) that reflects the first photons toward the zone (ZA) so that they form a first light beam (F1) that performs a photometric lighting function, —a second source (S2) that is installed in front of a central portion (PC) of the reflector (RP) and that generates second photons, —a lens (LF) that is inserted between the second source (S2) and the zone (ZA), that is positionable in various positions, and that forms, with the second photons, a second light beam (F2) that is narrow and that points toward a sub-zone of the zone (ZA) that depends on a set lens position, and—controlling means (MC) that set the position of the lens in case of detection of an obstacle in a sub-zone of known position.
