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 20):
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system comprising:\n a plurality of modular LIDAR devices, each modular LIDAR device including a scanner component mountable on an external surface of a vehicle and operable to capture LIDAR data indicative of objects in a surrounding environment relative to the vehicle, and a base component operable to wireless supply power to the scanner component and wirelessly receive information indicative of the captured LIDAR data; and a central management component operable to control the plurality of modular LIDAR devices and process the information indicative of LIDAR data captured by the plurality of modular LIDAR devices to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous navigation of the vehicle.
