Automotive lighting is undergoing changes with new shapes and patterns identifying makes and models. Manufacturers are developing adaptive headlights that change patterns based on road conditions and traffic. This is enabled by increased use of LED lights which allow for more bulbs per headlight to create customized lighting. Audi has been a leader with options like laser high beams and LED matrix headlights that adjust to not blind other drivers.

2. Automotive lighting is undergoing a quiet revolution,
leading to new vehicle designs and providing enhanced
nighttime safety.

3. Headlights and taillights can now be constructed in
different shapes and patterns that, much like a car’s tail
fins in the 1960s, immediately identify a particular make
and model.

4. And mostly in other countries, manufacturers are developing new ways
to use light to make nighttime driving safer. By , a vehicle’s headlights
can be more than just a set of low and high beams, and instead
continuously alter their light patterns to exactly fit the immediate road
conditions.

5. The increased use of LED lamps that is allowing manufacturers to fine-tune this
technology. Given an LED’s smaller size, cars can pack more bulbs into each headlight,
each of which can then be turned on and off to create unique light patterns based on
road conditions and the amount of oncoming traffic. This ensures that other drivers are
never blinded by oncoming headlights, while the driver of the vehicle using the system
receives an optimal view of the road.

6. Audi, the luxury division of Volkswagen, has been a leader in lighting
technology. Its high-performance R8 includes an optional laser high
beam. And five of its sedan and sport utility vehicle models can be
bought with an LED-based high-beam matrix headlight.

8. The system is so good at not shining light on vehicles traveling
ahead of it that the high beam can remain on and adjust itself,
even if eight cars are in front.

9. We’re looking at ways to amend the lighting standard to allow systems to
provide even better lighting,” said Gordon Trowbridge, a spokesman for the
agency. “It’s a frustrating and time-consuming process. We have an obligation
that the U.S. government not act rashly.
