Zusammenfassung:At least one source of light mounted in a terrestrial vehicle optically couples to one or more light-bearing conduits. Various sizes of conduit can be utilized and the conduits can be grouped or physically separated. One, some, or all of these light-bearing conduits may carry any or all of visible light, data-bearing light, and power conveying light for use by any of a variety of illumination components, data-capable components, and light-to-electricity conversion components, respectively. A given component may itself constitute both an illumination component and a data-capable component, or both an illumination component and a light-to-electricity conversion component, or both a data-capable component and a light-to-electricity conversion component, or a component that constitutes each of an illumination component, a data-capable component, and a light-to-electricity conversion component as desired.
