Modern lighting technology with the highest intensity are being introduced on world highways. Today become reality luminous road markings, “smart” lights, which in turn light up on the night track, “accompanying” the car. The Americans decided not to stop there and create innovative headlights, which will be controlled based on reading the gaze of the driver.
The new project of “General Motors” – the largest U.S. Automotive Corporation – System Based lighting “Adaptive Forward Lighting”. This technology provides nine functions, which, for example, include automatic inclusion of a high beam, as well as other lighting models, designed for specific situations on the road at night. The project involves the creation of the latest LED matrix, which will allow you to respond to light from oncoming cars, including in necessary moment the necessary light emitting diodes, thereby avoiding blinding drivers.
Work on the creation of this matrix has been ongoing for more than two years. Americans report that, in addition to adjusting the direction of light rays, the novelty will also automatically adjust them intensity. But the most interesting point, perhaps, will be that the system using the camera will be able to recognize facial expressions driver, thereby observing his reaction to lighting. Let’s say if, while traveling on a night road, you suddenly squint “Adaptive Forward Lighting” will immediately understand that you were blinded by the oncoming car, and take the necessary measures.
By the way, there are other interesting road inventions.
