A system (100) comprises a headlight (110) mounted on an autonomous vehicle (502). The headlight (110) is configured to illuminate at least a portion of a road (102) the autonomous vehicle (502) is on. The system (100) further comprises a control device (550) associated with the autonomous vehicle (502). The processor (122, 570) obtains information (310) about an environment around the autonomous vehicle (502). The processor (122, 570) determines that at least a portion of the road (102) should be illuminated if the information (310) indicates that an illumination level (340) of the portion of the road (102) is less than a threshold illumination level (342). The processor (122, 570) adjusts the headlight (110) to illuminate at least the portion of the road (102) in response to determining that at least the portion of the road (102) should be illuminated.
