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 1 83 E:\FR\FM\30DER1.SGM FR 51766, (Oct. 12, 2018). 30DER1
