Abstract:
A vehicle headlight device includes: a sensor acquiring information on an object in front of a host vehicle; a first lighting; a second lighting including a laser light, a movable mirror element reflecting the laser light, and an actuator driving the movable mirror element; and at least one processor that controls a light distribution pattern formed by the first lighting such that an irradiation suppressed site where the irradiation by the first lighting is reduced is included in a dark region where the irradiation by the first lighting is reduced, the irradiation suppressed site including at least a part of an irradiation suppression target object, set a laser light distribution pattern in a region not including the irradiation suppressed site and included in the dark region, and control the actuator such that the laser light is reflected in the laser light distribution pattern.
