1. A method for regulating light emission from a vehicle light of a vehicle, the method comprising:
detecting a road user located in a light emission direction of the vehicle light;
changing the light emission from the vehicle light;
acquiring response data based on a response of a road user to the change in the light emission;
determining prediction data indicating a response expected from a road user located in the light emission direction of the vehicle light to the changed light emission;
comparing the acquired response data with the determined prediction data;
determining, if the prediction data deviate from the response data, the adjustment in the light emission from the vehicle light by which a reduction in the deviation is predicted; and
regulating the light emission from the vehicle light according to the determined adjustment.
