In certain embodiments, a vehicle headlight system can include at least two independently controlled headlights that can be configured such that a first headlight can be oriented toward a first point-of-interest (POI) and, at the same time, a second headlight can be oriented toward a second POI that is different than the first POI. Some POIs can include various road features (e.g., road contours), signs, moving objects (e.g., people, animals), and the like. The vehicle headlight system can further control various operating characteristics of the one or more headlights including brightness, color, and illumination pattern, to name a few. In some cases, environmental data (e.g., road pitch, roll, and yaw data) and vehicle data (e.g., velocity and acceleration data) can be used to determine which direction to orient the headlights to maintain a proper illumination of the road ahead.
