A vehicle optical wireless data communication system includes a plurality of light sources disposed at a structure where vehicles travel. Each of the light sources emits visible light to illuminate the building or structure. Each of the light sources emits optical signals indicative of a location of the respective light source. A sensor is disposed at a vehicle and is operable to sense optical signals emitted by the light sources when the vehicle is in the vicinity of the light sources. Responsive to sensing by the sensor of optical signals emitted by at least one of the light sources, the sensor generates an output to a processor disposed at the vehicle. The processor processes the output of the sensor to determine a location of the vehicle relative to at least one of the light sources.
