Abstract
A method for aiding the maneuvering of an automotive vehicle. The method includes the steps of projecting a light pattern towards a projection zone of the ground surface, acquiring an image of the automotive vehicle and the light pattern from an image sensor and providing the acquired image to a user of the automotive vehicle. The projection zone includes at least one of a first virtual rectangle, a second virtual rectangle and/or a third virtual rectangle, defined with respect to a rear point of the carbody, a front point of the carbody and the contact points between the wheels and the ground surface. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device for performing the steps of such a method.
