Abstract

A laser-radar type distance measuring equipment for a motor vehicle is shown, which comprises a probe unit including a laser emitting device and a reflected laser receiving device. The probe unit is mounted on the vehicle body. A steering angle sensor is used for producing an information signal representative of the steered angle of the vehicle. A so-called performance changing device is employed for changing the performance of the probe unit. A control unit controls the performance changing device in accordance with the information signal issued from the steering angle sensor.
