Do you know there is a feature called adaptive headlamps that allow you to see around a
corner or up a hill earlier whenever you're driving at night or in any low light conditions that would
cause you to use your headlamps. A vehicle with adaptive headlamps will significantly reduce the possibility of a collision as you will be able to detect hazards earlier. The reason why the term adaptive is used is because the lights don't just turn to the left or right at a pre determined angle. Sensors check the tire angle and the lights adapt to how much the vehicle is cornering and the light is turned accordingly. The adaptive headlight needs a variety of sensors to determine the steering angle, the yaw rate and the speed of your vehicle to ascertain where the light is needed the most. The direction of your is also monitored as well so the lights will not turn in the direction of the steering while you're reversing. Once the direction to point the light is located the lenses in the headlight can turn up to 30 degrees (up to 15 degrees to the left & right). The lights can also point up or down to adapt to your vehicle when it is about to ascend or descend a hill, at the start of the hill the lights will further up or down the hill and return to normal once the entire vehicle is now parallel with the gradient of the hill.
