Ever wanted to know why these new lighting technologies are such a big deal? They work really well, that's why. No manual headlight adjustment needed for other drivers!

HOLYCRAPWHAT

How does that work?

Some highly advanced ultrasonic sensors (Sonar) probably

Uses cameras and sensors to detect other cars and diverts light away from them. Not sure about the rest.

Well, yeah. Probably a combination of ultrasonic sensors and infrared, but how does it physically aim the light and retain such a strong beam? Is it a matrix of uber-powerful LEDs?

I'm fairly sure that the many individual LED modules have motors controlling the angle of movement and are able to change intensity.

I would guess it is similar to the way some car's headlights follow you as you turn. Most likely LEDs because Audi. It is beyond my knowledge of engineering definetly

imagine the repair costs.

And the DOT/NHTSA STILL wants to keep us in the dark -pun intended- ages with sealed beams?? are you fucking kidding me? How does this not come across as a great automotive tech that is SAFE and awesome??

Government is a hell of a thing, isn't it?
