AI Technical Summary
Existing vehicle lighting systems that use high beams for improved visibility during nighttime driving often cause glare for other road users, increasing the risk of accidents, and require costly hardware upgrades to mitigate this issue.
A lighting system equipped with sensors and a central display unit that provides an alternative view on the display based on sensor data when high beam glare is detected, using radar, lidar, and infrared sensors to create a glare-free representation of the surroundings, supplemented by neural networks for enhanced detection and data fusion.
Enhances driver safety by providing a clear, uninterrupted view of the surroundings, reducing the need to look directly into glare, and allowing quick reaction to potential hazards, thereby minimizing accident risk.
