Headlights on âupperâ or âhighâ beam let you see about 350-400 feet ahead. 400 feet is your approximately stopping distance when driving at 50-55 mph. That is about the length of a city block. In other words, high beams let you see twice as far as low beams.
In this article, we'll look at how adaptive headlights differ from standard headlights and find out how they can make nighttime driving safer.

When going around curves, they illuminate the side of the road more than the road itself. Adaptive headlights react to the steering, speed and elevation of the car and automatically adjust to illuminate the road ahead.
