Embodiment Construction

[0058] figure 1 Motor vehicle 2 is shown.

[0059] The motor vehicle 2 is equipped with a device 4 (framed with dashed lines) for adaptively adapting the lighting of the motor vehicle to the direction of sight R of a driver 6 of the motor vehicle 2 .

[0060] The device 4 has two cameras 8 , 10 which are directed at the head 6 . 1 of the driver 6 . The camera 8 is arranged in the A-pillar 2.1 and the camera 10 is arranged in the rearview mirror 2.2. These cameras 8, 10 can be infrared cameras. These cameras 8 , 10 detect both the eyes and the orientation of the driver 6's head 6 . The interior light 11 illuminates the head 6 . 1 of the driver 6 .

[0061] These cameras 8 , 10 are connected to a controller 12 . Controller 12 has processor 14 and memory 16 . Controller 12 is able to recognize the direction of sight of driver 6 by means of processor 14 . For this purpose, the processor 14 stores in the memory 16 a computer program product which enables it to carry out comp...

Abstract

A motor vehicle is disclosed which includes a headlamp directed in travelling direction towards the front having an adaptable light beam. A controller is provided to adaptively control the light beam. A camera is arranged in the motor vehicle and oriented so that it captures a head of a driver. The camera is in data communication with the controller, which is configured to determine at least one region of attention of the driver from data transmitted by the camera. The controller is further configured to adapt the light beam of the headlamp, as a function of the region of attention by emphasizing the region of attention.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle and a method of operating a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has at least one forward-pointing headlight whose beam can be adjusted, and a controller for adjusting the beam of the headlight is provided. Background technique [0002] Headlamps and methods of the aforementioned type are known. Almost all motor vehicles have headlights which can be adjusted in a specific way. Most headlights allow the light to be affected at least by switching between low and high beams. Many motor vehicles have a headlight height adjuster which takes into account different load states of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, motor vehicles are also known, for example, with turn signals. In this case, the illumination of the area in front of the motor vehicle when driving around a curve is changed in such a way that the area inside the curve is better illuminated. [0003] In order to adjust the light of the at least one headlight, ...
