Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments include a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system. The LIDAR system includes a modular LIDAR device, which includes a scanner component and a structurally separate base component. The scanner component is mountable on an external surface of a vehicle, and includes a light source and detector to capture LIDAR data including a measure of a distance to an object relative to the vehicle. The scanner component also includes a communications transmitter to transmit LIDAR data indicative of the distance, and a power receiver to wirelessly power the scanner component. The base component is at least partially mountable on an interior surface of the vehicle, and includes a power transmitter to wirelessly power the scanner component, a communications receiver to wirelessly receive the LIDAR data, and a processor to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous navigation of the vehicle based on processed LIDAR data.

Claim (Index 1):
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system comprising:\n a modular LIDAR device including:\n (i) a scanner component mountable on an external surface of a vehicle, the scanner component including:\n a light source operable to emit light toward an object in an environment relative to the vehicle; \n a light detector operable to receive at least a portion of the light reflected off the object; \n a communications transmitter operable to wirelessly transmit LIDAR data indicative of a distance to the object relative to the vehicle based on the light reflected off the object; and \n a power receiver operable to wirelessly receive power for the scanner component; and \n \n (ii) a base component structurally separate from the scanner component and at least partially mountable to an interior surface of the vehicle, the base component including:\n a power transmitter operable to wirelessly supply power to the scanner component; \n a communications receiver operable to wirelessly receive the LIDAR data transmitted by the scanner component; and \n a processor operable to process the received LIDAR data to enable semi-autonomous or autonomous navigation of the vehicle.
