Your car uses GPS map data to tell the headlamps when to swivel. If GPS isn available,
If the car has built-in GPS, Ford says, the car will use the map data to see
when the car is about to go around a curve. It then swivels the headlamps to the right
or left to lead the driver into the curve. Ford since 2007 has had an Adaptive Front Lighting System
and Traffic Sign Recognition that turned the car headlamps up to 15 degrees as the driver turned the wheel to steer into the curve.
The two most serious threats are illuminated inside the car on an LCD display. This is Ford take on infrared night vision systems that now employ algorithms to detect people and animals,

So our research team is looking at the potential for a range of driver monitoring technologies to give the car enough information to support this decision.
If the car detects severe health issues, or simply how alert the driver is, then the car could take steps to ensure the driver is focussed enough on the driving task to take over. onitoring the physical health of the driver could
not only detect the onset of sudden and serious illness that may incapacitate the driver, but also allow the car to monitor driver stress levels.
This would then allow the car to help reduce stress, for example by changing mood lighting, audio settings and climate control.
