The Infiniti has proper DS-esque swivelling headlights, at first I thought it was a gimmick but on some of our local twisty roads it is a real help. Lights up the corner before you turn in and gives you a couple of seconds extra illumination.
Bosch and Hella used to sell spotlamps/foglamps with a 'cornering' function built in - used accelerometers and an extra bulb to bend the beam in to the corner you were turning in to. Very expensive from memory.
...Quote from Hella USA:
Combining a driving beam with a cornering beam, the DynaView cornering light from Hella might be just the ticket for night drivers. These beams automatically light up a corner as you turn into it, activated automatically using an electronic control unit called IntelliBeam, which measures, Hella tells us, the lateral acceleration of your vehicle. On straight road, the cornering light is automatically switched off. The DynaView is offered in 12- and 24-volt versions and is supplied with a custom wiring harness. Contact: Hella, Dept.
