Abstract:
1. A head lamp apparatus of an automobile, comprising: a left headlight disposed at a front-left side of the automobile configured to direct light in front of the automobile; a right headlight disposed at a front-right side of the automobile configured to direct light in front of the automobile; an automobile speed sensing sensor configured to sense a driving speed of the automobile; a global positioning system (GPS) receiving unit configured to receive a driving position of the automobile; a controller configured to rotate one of the left headlight and the right headlight to direct light toward a curved road when the driving position of the automobile received by the GPS receiving unit is an approximate predetermined driving time prior to the automobile turning with the curved road, wherein the approximate predetermined driving time is based on a driving path of the automobile at the driving speed sensed by the automobile speed sensing sensor; and a steering wheel angle sensing sensor configured to sense a steering wheel angle of a steering wheel, wherein when the driving path turns left with the curved road, the controller rotates the left headlight to the left at the approximate predetermined driving time prior to when the automobile is projected to enter the curved road, wherein the controller rotates the right headlight in a direction of the steering wheel angle sensed by the steering wheel angle sensing sensor, and wherein the rotation of the right headlight occurs approximately when the automobile enters the curved road, which is approximately the predetermined driving time after the rotation of the left headlight.
