Abstract:
A vehicle headlight control system includes a headlight, a positioning system, a receiver, and a controller. The positioning system is configured to generate host vehicle information including a host vehicle location and a host vehicle trajectory. The receiver is configured to receive remote vehicle information including a remote vehicle location and a remote vehicle trajectory. The controller is configured to calculate a remote vehicle distance from the host vehicle location based on the remote vehicle information and the host vehicle information, determine whether the remote vehicle distance is less than a predetermined distance, and automatically operate the headlight in a first setting while the remote vehicle distance is determined to be less than the predetermined distance.
