Unfortunately, current regulations in the United States mean that drivers there can’t experience this lighting innovation when it does come to market. Mercedes has already tested the system in field trials on the road and has started considering how to incorporate it into production vehicles. Headlight supplier Osram led the three-and-a-half-year-long project, and Daimler, Fraunhofer, Hella, and Infineon partnered in the tech’s development. In addition, the system can elongate the lights’ range as speeds increase, which extends the forward visibility of the person behind the wheel. They also point out oncoming vehicles but adjust so that the light doesn’t get in other motorists’ eyes.
When taking a corner, the LEDs illuminate the side of the road, so that the driver knows about any potential hazards. Beyond just being more adaptable, new sensors make the smart-pixel lights smarter, too.
