Abstract
A detection system for a vehicle in an environment includes at least one reflective member having a rotational axis and a plurality of reflective sides. Each of the reflective sides slopes towards the rotational axis at a slope angle different than the slope angle of at least one of the others of the reflective sides. The system includes a plurality of LiDAR systems with at least one light transmitter and at least one light receiver, each LiDAR system interacting with a different one of the reflective sides to scan the environment.
