I. Background
Beam switching technology was first
introduced into vehicles sold in the
United States in the 1950s and was
limited simply to switching between
upper and lower beams. An adaptive
driving beam (ADB) is an advanced type
of semiautomatic headlamp beam
switching technology. It uses advanced
sensing and computing technology to
identify oncoming and preceding traffic
and actively adapt the beam pattern to
limit at lower beam levels any light
shining toward those vehicles while
continuing to direct high intensity light
to other areas of the roadway. This
dynamic beam pattern was not
previously permitted by NHTSA’s
lighting standard. As such, in 2013,
Toyota petitioned NHTSA to modify the
standard to permit ADB headlighting
systems.
A. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
NHTSA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on
October 12, 2018, proposing to amend
NHTSA’s lighting standard, FMVSS No.
108, ‘‘Lamps, reflective devices, and
associated equipment,’’ in response to a
petition that raised concerns that the
standard’s beam pattern (photometry)
requirements would not permit the
enhanced beam that ADB headlighting
systems provide.1 ADB headlamp
technology dynamically modifies
headlamp photometry to provide more
illumination in certain areas in and
around the roadway while reducing
glare towards oncoming and preceding
motorists. This dynamism is facilitated
by the headlamps changing the lower
beam pattern and increasing the usage
of the upper beam, the effect of which
