Claim 19:
20. A system to control a vehicle, the system comprising:
sensors configured to detect ambient light levels, vehicle location, location of other vehicles, road conditions, and weather conditions and provide sensor data based thereon;
a processor configured to:
create an image pattern based on the sensor data, and
send the image pattern as image frame buffer data to a headlamp for a light emitting diode (LED) array;

an image frame buffer coupled to the processor, the image frame buffer configured to store the image frame buffer data received from the processor; and
a standby image buffer configured to store at least one set of default image data;
wherein the LED array is configured to project light at least partially dependent on at least one set of data selected from the image frame buffer data and the at least one set of default image data dependent on whether a current set of image frame buffer data is received from the processor within a predetermined time from a previous set of image frame buffer data from the processor, pixels of the LED array being addressable such that the pixels are selectively controllable at least one of individually and in blocks of pixels based on the image frame buffer data or the at least one set of default image data.
