No More High Beam Blinding

Tired of being blinded by other drivers’ high beam lights disorientating you as you drive along at night. This disturbance could soon be a thing of the past with car manufacturer Volvo recently unveiling its latest development that it hopes will make driving safer and more comfortable.

The Volvo Active High Beam Control hopes to make it possible to drive with high beams continuously without worrying about blinding others. The new lights will utilize a camera found in the front of the vehicle. The camera will identify incoming vehicles and shade them whilst still illuminating the rest of the road. When a car in front is detected the detector relays info a projector module mechanism integrated into the headlamp. A tiny cylinder with metal pieces of different sizes allows shading of the beam to cover necessary areas. Check out the mock-up created by Volvo at the bottom of our blog.

This is an incredible development which could soon see the manual switching between high and standard beams become a thing of the past. It appears the motor industry is moving increasingly toward automation.
