BMW leads the way in car head light technology as it announced two new lighting technologies.

 

First up is the Dynamic Light Spot, which is an enhancement of the already available Night Vision System. Currently, the Night Vision System can recognize pedestrians and animals on the road, and warn the driver if necessary. The Dynamic Light Spot system goes one step further by using an infrared sensor to detect any animals or pedestrians that are 100 meters (328 feet) in front of the vehicle. When something is found, a beam of light is focused on the object to alert the driver.

 

Another innovation is the glare-free high beam assistant, which adjust the car's high beam based on the position of other vehicles. If a car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle is recognized, the light beam is masked in the area of this vehicle by a mechanism. As a result, the high beam can be left on during the whole night with the glare-free mechanism making sure not to bother other vehicles.

 

BMW is planning to include the Dynamic Light Spot functionality as a part of the special BMW Night Vision system. However, the German automaker did not indicate the expected date of rolling out the glare-free high beam assistant to the production models.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Sgcarmart Explores: Japan Edition (ft. the Nissan Ariya)!

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha

    Disconnecting from Our Virtual Reality

    Recently, I had a scare at work. My laptop was suddenly unable to access the Internet despite working fine the entire day. A check with IT showed that the browser I was using, Arc, had somehow triggered the Falcon cybersecurity program, which promptly locked down my laptop despite the browser having worked fine for almost a year at that point. While I thankfully had cleared out my video backlog before it happened (most of them pending approval, a couple ready to publish), I was unable
