`WARNING:
`
`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documentsfiled in a patent application that may
`contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers
`(other than a checkor credit card authorization form PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes)is never required by the USPTO
`to support a petition or an application.
`If this type of personal information is included in documents submitted to the USPTO,
`petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before submitting them to the
`USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public after publication of the
`application (unless a non-publication request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance of a
`patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public ifthe application is
`referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms
`PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposesare notretained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available.

`ABSTRACT
`
`A motor vehicle includes headlamps havinga plurality of LED light sources, one or more processors,
`
`and a memory storing instructions. One or more processors executing the instructions are enabled to
`
`receive first data, including at least map data, indicating a road curvature upcoming along a road on
`
`whichthe motorvehicle is traveling. The processors are also enabled to determine a light change, the
`
`change adaptinga light pattern ofthe headlampsin atleast one of color, intensity or spatial distribution
`
`to increaselight in a direction of the road curvature ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based
`
`at least in part on the road curvature. The processors are further enabled to control at least a first
`
`plurality of the LED light sources to provide light basedat least in part on the determinedlight change
`
`and prior to the motor vehicle reaching the road curvature.

`
`WHATIS CLAIMEDIS:
`
`1.
`
`A system, for a motor vehicle, comprising:
`
`a plurality of headlamps, each comprising a plurality of LED light sources;
`
`one or more processors; and
`
`a memory storing instructions that, when executed by one or more of the one or more
`
`processors, enable the one or more processors to:
`
`receive first data, including at least map data, indicating a road curvature
`
`upcomingalong a road on which the motor vehicle is traveling;
`
`determine a light change, the change adaptinga light pattern of the headlamps
`
`in at least one of color, intensity or spatial distribution to increase light in a direction of the
`
`road curvature ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based at least in part on the road
`
`curvature; and
`
`control at least a first plurality of the LED light sources to provide light based
`
`at least in part on the determined light change andprior to the motor vehicle reaching the road
`
`curvature.
`
`2.
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the determination of the light change includes
`
`selection ofthe first plurality of the LED light sources.
`
`3.
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions includeinstructions that, when
`
`executed by the one or more processors, enable the one or more processors to reshape light based on
`
`the road curvature as the motor vehicle travels at least to or through the road curvature.
`
`4.
`
`The system of claim 3, wherein the reshaping of light further includes control
`
`to at least one of the fi
