Abstract

A lighting system, including: a first headlamp on a front of a local vehicle and including a first low-beam lamp for shining light in front of the local vehicle at a first angle below horizontal, a first middle-beam lamp for selectively shining light in front of the local vehicle at a second angle below horizontal, and a first high-beam lamp for selectively shining light in front of the local vehicle at a third angle below horizontal; a sensory cluster for detecting a remote vehicle in front of the first headlamp; a controller for controlling operation of the first low-beam, middle-beam, and high-beam lamps, wherein the first angle is greater than the second angle and the second angle is greater than the third angle, and the controller controls operation of the first middle-beam and high-beam lamps based at least in part on signals from the sensory cluster.
