With the progress of technology around us, there is no surprise that car’s become more advanced and cooler than ever. Less than two decades ago, we were using cars with CDs, trying to pick out our favourite songs as we cruised down the road, now, we sit in our cars, and our Bluetooth music automatically connects.
LED lights have taken over dull and yellow halogen bulbs, so it’s not shocking that cars have begun to have this cool safety feature, the adaptive headlights.
What Are Adaptive Headlights?
Adaptive headlights are a relatively simple and innovative design. In an adaptive headlight, the internal components of the headlights adjust for certain conditions. They adjust to move in the direction your car is turning, not just the direction it is going in.
How Do the Adaptive Headlights Work?
The most basic way that adaptive headlights work is by adjusting according to the way you turn the steering wheel. They are also self-levelling, so they remain constantly pointing toward the road ahead. This is essential when creating over hills or large bumps that would cause your car’s front end to be pointing more upwards than forward.
Why Do You Need Adaptive Headlights in Your Car?
Being a responsible and safe driver requires you to multitask. You must constantly focus on the road ahead, the hazards around you, and the cars you are driving. In addition to the road, you have to be on the lookout for pedestrians, animals also using the path.
All of this is incredibly hard to do if you are unable to see. Well-lit city lights and neighbourhoods with street lamps are ideal for many drivers to see the world around you, but for a majority of roadways, visibility comes almost exclusively, and most consistently, from your car.
With adaptive cruise control, the headlights still can’t read your mind, but they can anticipate where your eyes need to be by following the steering wheel’s motion and self-levelling to remain on the road ahead.
Conclusion
Adaptive headlights are an incredibly underrated necessity in cars, and while you may not have realized how much you needed them in the past, you will certainly be more inclined to pay attention to these moments in the future. However, they are commonly found in some of the luxury cars of today and the redesigned models of other vehicles.
