You'd also notice that the adaptive function is disabled in Reverse.

The "calculations" are a lot of them. I think I remember reading that there are like 5 or so sensors that detirmine the vehicle's path and adjusts the headlights accordingly. I find that after a turn,like when turning at a intersecion, the headlights are very slooooow at going back to the road ahead. It bugs me. It also sometimes over calculates how much I am turning, becuase sometimes the headlights are pointing too far into a turn, like in somebody's front yard. But I usually like it and it's better than the non-adaptive lights.

In reverse I notice for some odd reason which is beyond me, the foglights go on.
