SMART INNOVATON GADGETS FOR YOUR CAR

Luminar Technologies has set themselves the ambitious goal of saving a hundred million lives and a hundred trillion hours on the road within a century. Their team is working on an advanced lidar system that operates on a large scale with a range of approximately three to five hundred meters. This lidar device utilizes pulses of laser light to scan the surrounding space and generate a temporary map eliminating the need for the internet connection. This technology holds great promise for assisting drivers and advancing autonomous Driving Systems. For instance, Nissan plans to employ AI to analyze the lidar data. Luminar Technologies has already established collaborations with major automakers worldwide, including the Chinese company SAIC. The timeline for implementation varies. The Chinese R7 model equipped with this lidar has already entered production, while Mercedes-Benz aims for a launch in 2025 and Nissan expects to incorporate it by 2030.

Smart Headlights Innovation

According to the creators of these headlights 72 percent of fatal accidents occur at night. Their concept seems quite logical: why not let the headlights do more than just illuminate the road? In appearance their solution resembles virtual racing simulators.

Additionally, you can drive with high beams constantly without causing glare to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, as the headlights will automatically adjust their brightness to an optimal level. The best part is that this Innovation can be installed in almost any car. All you need, in addition to the headlights, are a control unit and a set of cameras.
