Adaptive headlights?

[JetFixxxer]

Going through Livnitup 2023 spread sheet under "IPC 720" there is a setting for Adaptive head lamps Control & Adaptive Head Lamps Traffic. I'm wondering if it's later '23 models that this can be enabled or at all.

Believe it takes more than a setting to get adaptive headlights. Seems that some sort of mechanism to move the light beam is needed as well. Don't believe the Mavs have that.

I wonder if it's a place holder. Not sure if the Maverick is sold out of North America. Also not sure if Canada or Mexico require adaptive lights.

Remember the Maverick shares much of the same BCM firmware as other C2 platform vehicles. The Kuga (also on the platform) has proper adaptive headlamps.

Are adaptive headlights the same as automatic high beams?

Help an old guy out here please!

More beyond that. Adaptive headlights do things like dynamically aim towards curves like in the Kuga video I linked. And there's even more advanced versions which utilize a matrix of multiple LEDs so the headlight can illuminate "around" oncoming vehicles so as not to glare the other driver or focus even more forwards within your lane at highway speeds.

Thanks for the explanation, I just couldn't tell what was going on in the video
