Description
As a vehicle approaches the vehicle's headlights automatically adjust the lighting from high to low.
How this technology works
Automatic high beams automatically switch a vehicle’s headlights between high and low beams depending on the road’s light conditions and oncoming traffic.
This technology differs from adaptive driving beam systems, which selectively dim or turn-off part of the lights to reduce glare for drivers in nearby vehicles.
Operation
Automatic high beams use sensors and/or cameras to detect when other vehicles approach and automatically adjust the vehicle headlights based on traffic and lighting conditions.
This system automatically activates when it detects other vehicles ahead or senses other lighting along the road.
Other names for this technology
- High beams assist
- Auto high-beams
- Semi-automatic beam switching headlamps
