How Automatic High Beams Work

Automatic high beams are a much newer technology than the automatic headlights we talked about in the previous video. What makes one forward-facing illumination source different than another? Well, after watching the video explaining how the automatic headlights work, this video goes further to explain how the basic systems are expanded upon, and different sensors are used to operate the high beams effectively.

Automatic high beams (in theory) take the guesswork out of when the high beams need to be turned on or off, allowing for the most focus on the road thanks to reduced time fiddling with the controls. Cameras and sensors are used to determine if the high beams should be on or not by identifying other vehicles and lighting conditions and making an assessment.

Do you have a vehicle with automatic high beams? How well do they work for you? Let us know in the comments section of this video!

Toyota, Honda, Subaru, BMW, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and other companies have various names for their automatic high beam systems, and may have slight differences, but this video explains how automatic high beams work on a basic level that covers most, if not all, systems.

What is "Automatic High Beams"?
Aside from being a weird way to put that, automatic high beams are a feature found on some modern vehicles (often with extra safety features beyond the base level trim) that will automatically shut off your high beams for you if a car is coming towards you, or if you get close enough to a vehicle in front of you.
