Intellibeam system consists of a digital light sensor that is located in a separate module that is mounted to the back of the inside rearview mirror.
The digital sensor detects light, not vehicle movement.
The Intellibeam system will turn OFF the high beam headlamps when other vehicles' headlamps or taillights are detected by the digital sensor.
Intellibeam modulates the high beam headlamps by gradually fading the high beam headlamps ON or OFF.
In the illustration above, vehicle "A" headlights are in the sensing area of Intellibeam (dashed green line), so the sensor will command the module to dim the high beams. When the oncoming vehicle reaches point "B" the high beams will come on again. When the sensor detects taillights like those on car "C", it will also turn off the high beams.

I think it is interesting to play and think about lights and how they function while driving. (As warning and as a way to drive at night).
How can we make lights further improve safety for pedestrians? - I think that is the goal that Phillips wants us to think about.
