A vehicle lamp module and a vehicle including the vehicle lamp module are provided. The vehicle lamp module includes a beam pattern forming part to form a beam pattern of light irradiated externally from a vehicle, a sensor part provided at one side of the beam pattern forming part to sense an external region including the beam pattern, a driving part coupled to one side of the sensor part to provide a driving force for rotating the sensor part to change the external region that the sensor part faces, and a connection part interposed between the beam pattern forming part and the sensor part to selectively connect or disconnect the beam pattern forming part and the sensor part with or from each other.

A leveling apparatus for a vehicle headlamp includes: a housing disposed at a front side of a vehicle; a light source module disposed in the housing to emit light; a tilting sensor disposed in the housing to detect an inclination degree of a road; a tilting means to tilt the light source module and the tilting sensor together; and a controller. The controller receives a signal detected by the tilting sensor and controls the tilting means based on the inclination degree of the road to adjust a light emission angle of the light source module. In addition, the tilting sensor operates until a sensed output of the tilting sensor reaches a normal range.

A headlamp includes a high beam lamp unit configured to form a high beam light distribution pattern, a cornering lamp configured to form a side light distribution pattern, and a lamp control unit configured to control the high beam lamp unit and the cornering lamp so as to adjust the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern. At least one of the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern includes a first region including a target object and a second region other than the first region. When an external sensor detects the target object, the lamp control unit adjusts the high beam light distribution pattern and the side light distribution pattern so that at least the second region is irradiated with light.

A vehicle may have lights such as headlights. The lights may be moved using a positioner. Control circuitry in the vehicle may use sensor circuitry to monitor the environment surrounding the vehicle. The sensor circuitry may include one or more sensors such as a lidar sensor, radar sensor, image sensor, and/or other sensors to measure the shape of a surface in front of the vehicle and the location of the surface relative to the vehicle. These sensors and/or other sensors in the sensor circuitry also measure headlight illumination on the surface. Based on the known shape of the surface in front of the vehicle and the distance of the surface from the vehicle, the control circuitry can predict where a headlight should be aimed on the surface. By comparing predictions of headlight illumination on the surface to measurements of headlight illumination on the surface, the vehicle can determine how to move the headlight with the positioner to align the headlight.
