Abstract: In certain embodiments, a vehicle headlight system can include at least two independently controlled headlights that can be configured such that a first headlight can be oriented toward a first point-of-interest (POI) and, at the same time, a second headlight can be oriented toward a second POI that is different than the first POI. Some POIs can include various road features (e.g., road contours), signs, moving objects (e.g., people, animals), and the like. The vehicle headlight system can further control various operating characteristics of the one or more headlights including brightness, color, and illumination pattern, to name a few. In some cases, environmental data (e.g., road pitch, roll, and yaw data) and vehicle data (e.g., velocity and acceleration data) can be used to determine which direction to orient the headlights to maintain a proper illumination of the road ahead.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to predict a future position of a vehicle travelling along a path; determine, based on the predicted future position of the vehicle, a subset of map data from a set of map data stored in a data repository housed in the vehicle; and dynamically pre-load the determined subset of map data from the data repository to a cache memory storage housed in the vehicle for expedited access of the determined subset of map data by at least one computation unit housed in the vehicle.
