1. An intelligent follow-up illumination device, comprising:
a support component adapted to be installed on a vehicle in a fixed state;
a rotating component disposed to rotate relative to the support component;
a driving component disposed between the support component and the rotating component to drive the rotating component to perform a rotation operation around a rotation axis according to a control command;
a light source component disposed inside the rotating component to emit illumination light; and
a projection component retained on the rotating component to project the illumination light outwardly, so as to form a light distribution pattern;
wherein the rotating component includes a housing portion, a base portion disposed inside the housing portion, and a shaft portion extending from the base portion; wherein the housing portion defines an accommodation space for accommodating the support component, the driving component, and the light source component, the projection component is fixed by the housing portion and the light source component is disposed on the base portion, such that a light transmission path from the light source component passes through the projection component, and the shaft portion defines the rotation axis;
wherein the support component includes an abutting portion that is disposed to retain the driving component in the accommodation space of the housing portion; and
wherein the shaft portion is pivotably coupled to the support component via a bearing unit.
