Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An exterior lighting and object detection assembly for a vehicle operable in an exterior environment that includes an object includes a housing, a first light source, an inner lens, and an object detection device. The first light source is connected to the housing and emits light for a position light function of the vehicle. The inner lens is connected to the housing and has a first portion that receives and reflects the light from the first light source to the exterior environment of the vehicle to provide the position light function. The object detection device is connected to the housing and is operable to detect the object via an electromagnetic energy. The first portion of the inner lens is disposed between the object and the object detection device and is configured to permit the electromagnetic energy to pass through such that the object detection device detects the object.
