First Claim
1. A vehicle headlight detection system comprising:
- a vehicle sensor configured to detect a remote vehicle approaching the vehicle sensor;
a light sensor configured to detect a light output of the remote vehicle; and
a controller programmed to determine, based on the light output detected by the light sensor, whether the light output of the remote vehicle meets a predetermined minimum condition when the vehicle sensor detects the remote vehicle, and programmed to communicate with an indicator to notify a driver of the remote vehicle when the light output of the remote vehicle does not meet the predetermined minimum condition.
