A vehicle for travelling on a roadway with a driver has a driver monitor, a head lamp system, and a controller. The driver monitor senses a driver gaze angle relative to a vehicle heading along the roadway and senses a driver head angle relative to the vehicle heading. The a headlamp system has a steerable headlamp configured to illuminate the roadway with a light beam along a selectable projection angle. The controller is configured to compare the driver gaze angle to a first threshold angle, determine a difference between the driver gaze angle and the driver head angle, and when the driver gaze angle is greater than the first threshold angle and the difference is less than a second threshold angle, then adjust the projection angle to a target angle based on the driver gaze angle.
