Abstract
A vehicle having: a vehicle body; a plurality of light-emitting parts; a light source configured to output a laser beam to the light-emitting parts; a fiber optic cable that constitutes a part of a laser beam path, the fiber optic cable having a most upstream branch portion; a single shared laser driver board controlling laser beam source elements in the single light source; and at least one laser light-emission-manner converter, each disposed in, or downstream of, the most upstream branch portion, to thereby cause each light-emitting part downstream from said each light-emission-manner converter to change a light-emission manner thereof. The laser light-emission-manner converter and/or the single shared laser driver board are at least partially disposed in an in-body covered region, which is disposed further downward than, and in a plan view of the vehicle overlaps, any of a fuel tank, a dummy tank, a foot board, and a seat.
