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 22):
A computer-implement method comprising:\n establishing a wireless communication channel of a modular light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device between a scanner component mounted on an external side of a windshield of a vehicle and a base component located in an interior cabin of the vehicle; establishing a wireless power connection between the scanner component and the base component through the windshield; capturing LIDAR data with the scanner component by emitting a light towards an object and detecting at least a portion of the light reflected off the object, the captured LIDAR data being indicative of a distance to the object relative to the vehicle; wirelessly communicating information indicative of the LIDAR data from the scanner component to the base component through the windshield over the established wireless communication channel; and processing the information indicative of the LIDAR data to enable semi-autonomous or autonomous navigation the vehicle.
