Ford's high-tech lighting system makes driving at night safer
Ford is in the midst of developing a couple of advanced front-lighting technologies designed to prevent collision and keep drivers safe at night. The first one called "camera-based advanced front lighting system" takes two of the automaker's older technologies -- adaptive lighting system and traffic sign recognition -- and transforms them into something better. It can interpret traffic signs and use GPS info to widen the headlights' reach at roundabouts. In the absence of GPS data, it uses cameras to detect lane markings and move the car's high beams according to the road's curvature, or to spot dips in the road to illuminate them better.
