ABSTRACT:
A combined vehicle and associated rear-lighting system includes a vehicle provided with a steering system having a first sensor coupled thereto, and a propulsion system having a second sensor coupled thereto. Such first and second sensors detect a plurality of vehicle operating parameters associated with the steering and propulsion systems during driving conditions respectively. A rear-lighting system coupled to a rear bumper of the vehicle and emits a plurality of light rays along the rear pathway extending rearwardly away from the rear bumper of the vehicle. Notably, the rear-lighting system may be communicatively coupled to the steering and propulsion systems respectively. In this manner, the rear-lighting system is responsive to the vehicle operating parameters such that the light rays are synchronously and uniformly oscillated in a direction corresponding to a travel route and a travel speed of the vehicle respectively.
