Abstract:
Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices for operating an autonomous vehicle are provided. For example, a method can include receiving sensor data based at least in part on sensor outputs from sensors of an autonomous vehicle. The sensor outputs can be based at least in part on a state of the autonomous vehicle and an environment including one or more objects. A plurality of spatial relations can be determined based on the sensor data. The plurality of spatial relations can include the position of the autonomous vehicle with respect to the one or more objects. A headlight configuration for headlights of the autonomous vehicle can be determined, based on the plurality of spatial relations. The headlight configuration can specify headlight states for each of the headlights. A set of the one or more headlights can be activated, based on the headlight configuration.

Claim (Index 6):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n determining, by the computing system, based at least in part on the plurality of spatial relations, one or more path characteristics of the predicted path of the autonomous vehicle, the one or more path characteristics comprising at least one of a path angle, a path grade, or an intersection proximity, wherein determining the headlight configuration further comprises determining the headlight configuration based at least in part on the one or more path characteristics.
