Abstract
Particular embodiments may provide for a method of providing illumination for a vehicle. A signal to activate a headlamp assembly for a vehicle may be sent. The headlamp assembly may comprise a laser-based lamp positioned to provide high-beam illumination, including a plurality of beam subfields, and a light sensor configured to capture images of illuminated objects, wherein the light sensor is capable of sensing objects illuminated by visible-spectrum light. A focal region for the high-beam illumination may be determined based on images captured by the light sensor. Instructions to configure the laser-based lamp to modify a distribution of the high-beam illumination to increase brightness of one or more beam subfields of the high-beam illumination within the focal region may be sent.
