Smart headlights be able to do the simple tasks of automatically turning the high beams on and off as vehicles approach, while at the same time pointing the beams downward to prevent blinding drivers in oncoming vehicles. The lights will also steer the beams as the car goes around curves or turns to illuminate as much of the road as possible. However, they will be able to do much more. Adaptive headlights can project patterns onto the road to help drivers see when a lane ends. The headlights will be able to project symbols on the road to warn drivers. The options with this type of technology are endless.
