Adaptive Headlights
Source: GJH
Commercially available
PRINCIPLE
Adaptive headlights can direct the beams by moving each headlamp left, right, up or down in reaction to steering wheel angle, speed and movement of the vehicle.
EXPLANATION
This keeps the road surface correctly illuminated when the vehicle's front is diving on hard deceleration, prevents the beam going up in the air when the vehicle accelerates, and also ensures that the beam lights the road in a curve instead of illuminating the side of the road.
Adaptive Headlights are available as an option in several European models.
