Abstract
A method for reducing headlight glare from a first vehicle comprising a first headlight and one or more sensors. The method includes illuminating, by the first headlight in a low beam setting, a portion of a road that the first vehicle is traveling along. The one or more sensors may detect a presence of a second vehicle. For example, the one or more sensors may detect the presence of the second vehicle in a region that is receiving direct glare from the first headlight in the low beam setting. The first headlight may dim, in response to the detecting, to a first light output below the low beam setting.
