A headlamp for a vehicle including a low beam source having a plurality of low beam elements arranged in a designated matrix; a high beam source having a plurality of high beam elements arranged in a designated matrix; and a control unit configured to generate a darkness area or light area by selectively turning on/off the high beam elements and the low beam element based on a designated matrix beam pattern, according to whether a target is detected.

A headlamp assembly includes a housing. A headlamp is disposed within the housing. An image sensor is disposed within the housing and is configured to detect a light source. A controller is operably coupled to the image sensor and the headlamp. The controller is operable to control the headlamp in response to the light source detected by the image sensor.

An imaging system of a vehicle includes a tail lamp assembly that illuminates a field of illumination rearward of the vehicle. A light source control may operate at least one light source of the tail lamp assembly in a repeating cycle that includes (i) a first illumination period wherein light emitted by the tail lamp assembly has a first brightness level and (ii) a second illumination period wherein light emitted by the tail lamp assembly has a second brightness level that is lower than the first brightness level. A camera is operable to capture image data representative of a region that is at least in part encompassed by the field of illumination. A camera control may operate the camera to capture image data during at least part of the first illumination period.

A notification control apparatus is provided in a vehicle, and includes: a projection controller that controls projection of a crosswalk pattern onto a road ahead of the vehicle; and an erroneous preventer that prevents an erroneous start of the vehicle during a projection period of the crosswalk pattern.

A lighting control device configured to control a radiation state of light from a headlamp for a vehicle includes a vehicle model information acquisition section configured to acquire vehicle model information of a vehicle located in front in front of a host vehicle, a distance detection section configured to detect a distance between the vehicle located in front and the host vehicle, and a light distribution controller configured to control a light distribution with respect to a side in front of the host vehicle by the headlamp for a vehicle on the basis of the vehicle model information and the distance.

A vehicle control system comprising an image sensor operable to capture image data corresponding to a field of view rearward of a vehicle. The vehicle control system further comprises a processor in communication with the image sensor. The processor is operable to receive the image data from the image sensor, analyze the image data and based on the analyzed image data, identify at least one characteristic of a trailing vehicle. The processor is operable to generate a control signal to adjust an illumination pattern of at least one taillight of the vehicle.

An adaptive lighting system of an off-road utility vehicle includes an illumination device controllable with respect to its emission characteristic or light intensity, and a control unit in communication with the illumination device. The control unit is configured to adapt the emission characteristic or light intensity level by controlling the illumination device based upon a determined gaze direction of a vehicle operator, an identified extraneous light effects, a determined relative position of an external off-road utility vehicle, or cartographic location information.

A vehicle includes a mirror light assembly. A plurality of light sources is disposed in a housing and a plurality of reflectors surrounds each light source having a focal axis that is offset from each of the remaining reflectors. A sensor is configured to detect an object proximate the vehicle. A controller is configured to selectively illuminate the light sources to illuminate the object.

A lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include a light output unit; an interface unit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to control the light output unit to generate light that illuminates an exterior of the vehicle. The at least one processor may also be configured to receive first information via the interface unit; and control the light output unit to display, via the light that illuminates the exterior of the vehicle, a visual image corresponding to the received first information. The at least one processor may further be configured to receive second information via the interface unit; and control the light output unit based on the received second information to change the visual image displayed by the light that illuminates the exterior of the vehicle.

A system including a computer for a vehicle is programmed to identify the vehicle as a lead vehicle in a platoon of three or more vehicles, and to identify one of the vehicles in the platoon as a caboose vehicle. The computer is programmed to deactivate a rear light of the lead vehicle, and to instruct activation of a rear light of the caboose vehicle.
