Adaptive driving light system

A driving light system for a vehicle, including:

• an array of lighting modules for illuminating a lighting zone in front of a vehicle, each module including:
• a light emitter unit for emitting a light beam along a light path to illuminate a segment of the lighting zone;
• and
• a directional light sensor unit adapted to detect reflected light from reflective surfaces in the path of the light beam, and
• at least one controller configured to automatically control the brightness of each emitted light beam as a function of light detected by one or more of the directional light sensor units while the light emitter unit remains on, and
• wherein the at least one controller is further configured to dim the emitted light beam by a fixed amount if a sensor reading of the one or more sensor units increased at greater than a predetermined rate.
