Vehicle light control system
First Claim
1. A vehicle light control system comprising:
- a light device emitting an illumination light around an object vehicle on which said vehicle light control system is mounted;
an information obtaining device obtaining integrated information including at least vehicle information indicating a behavior of said object vehicle;
a control unit including an illumination target candidate setting function of setting a plurality of illumination target candidates which a driver of said object vehicle should pay attention on the basis of said integrated information, said plurality of said illumination target candidates being given a risk degree respectively, and a determination function of selecting an illumination target from among said plurality of said illumination target candidates on the basis of said risk degree; and
an actuator device controlling said light device such that said illumination light is emitted in a direction of said illumination target.
