Automatically switches headlights to low beam from high beam and back to reduce driving burden

This system automatically switches the headlights setting to low beam from high beam when it detects a vehicle ahead. Frequent usage of high beams allows for earlier detection of pedestrians, supporting safer driving.

System operation

  1. While driving with high beam assist turned on, the vehicle’s high beams will remain on when low light is detected.
  1. If an oncoming or leading vehicle is detected, the headlights setting will be automatically switched from the high beam to the low beam. If the oncoming vehicle is no longer present, or the leading vehicle is at a safe distance ahead, the headlight setting will switch back to high beam. When the vehicle is travelling at low speeds, the headlight setting will automatically switch to low beam.

System mechanism

A front-mounted camera located in the upper-portion of the windshield detects lights from oncoming and leading vehicles. Based on light level sensing, the system will switch the headlight setting from high to low beam automatically.
