Adaptive headlight system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a motor vehicle that includes a plurality of headlamps that each comprise a plurality of LED light sources, enable the one or more processors to:

• receive first data, including at least map data, indicating a road curvature upcoming along a road on which the motor vehicle is traveling;
• determine a light change, the change adapting a light pattern of the headlamps in at least one of color, intensity or spatial distribution to increase light in a direction of the road curvature ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based at least in part on the road curvature;
• and
• control at least a first plurality of the LED light sources to provide light based at least in part on the determined light change and prior to the motor vehicle reaching the road curvature.

A computer-implemented method for adapting light from headlamps of a motor vehicle to accommodate road shape changes, the headlamps including a plurality of LED light sources, comprising:

• determining an upcoming shape change of a road, ahead of the motor vehicle, based on first data, including map data, indicating the shape change;
• determining a light output, the output adapting a light pattern of the headlamps in at least one of color, intensity or spatial distribution to increase light in a direction associated with the shape change ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based on the shape change;
• and
• prior to reaching the road shape change, causing at least a first plurality of the LED light sources to provide light based at least in part on the determined light output.
