See full text

A system and method are described for controlling operation of host vehicle headlights. The system includes a communication unit to receive a vehicle-to-x communication including data indicative of a characteristic of a second vehicle. The system also includes a controller to determine that a high-beam is generated by the host vehicle headlights, determine a state of the second vehicle based on the second vehicle characteristic data, determine a state of the host vehicle based on data indicative of a characteristic of the host vehicle, determine that a pre-defined condition exists involving the host vehicle and second vehicle based on the second vehicle state and the host vehicle state, and, in response to the determination that the high-beam is generated and the pre-defined condition exists, generate a headlight control signal that effectuates an automatic change of the host vehicle headlights from a high-beam to a low-beam operating state.
