Claim 9:
10. A method of performing a disinfection process for a cabin of a vehicle, the cabin including an air duct, the method comprising, by a controller:
receiving, from a sensor in communication with the controller, an indication of one or more surfaces of the cabin that are to undergo the disinfection process;
adjusting an orientation of a steerable optical system coupled to the air duct based on the indication of the one or more surfaces of the cabin that are to undergo the disinfection process; and
while the steerable optical system is in the adjusted orientation, causing an ultraviolet radiation source in communication with the controller to direct ultraviolet radiation to the steerable optical system, wherein the ultraviolet radiation source is disposed within the air duct, and the air duct includes one or more internal reflective surfaces that reflect the ultraviolet radiation towards the steerable optical system such that the steerable optical system selectively directs the ultraviolet radiation to the one or more surfaces of the cabin.
