A vehicle includes an internal lighting system with a plurality of lighting devices, which is capable of outputting different lighting configurations. Each lighting configuration is defined by a brightness of emitted light, a color of emitted light, a number and identity of the plurality of lighting devices that are turned on, and/or a time-based sequence of changes to the brightness or color of one or more of the plurality of lighting devices. The vehicle further includes one or more sensors and a processor communicatively coupled to the lighting system and the sensors. The processor causes the lighting system to output a first lighting configuration. Based on data captured by the sensors, the processor detects a trigger criterion has been satisfied. In response to detecting the satisfaction of the trigger criterion, the processor modifies a configuration of the lighting system to output a second lighting configuration.
