Abstract

A system and a method of automatically exterior vehicle lights includes an image sensor (201) and a controller (1105) to generate control signals. The control signals are derived on information obtained from the image sensor as well as other detected parameters pertaining to the detected light source(s) (1111, 1132), the vehicle having the inventive control system, and the ambient environment. The control circuit may simply turn certain exterior lights on or off, or change the brightness, aim, focus, etc. to produce various beam patterns that maximize the illuminated area in front of the vehicle without causing excessive glare in the eyes of the drivers.
