Mercedes-Benz new digital light system: Steering tips directly on the road-IT information

Now, carmakers really tried all kinds of ways to improve the safety of products, and Mercedes-Benz recently launched a Digital Light headlamp lighting system, although the "digital light" name sounds like nothing special, but it's really "safe" play the new tricks.

Simply put, Digital Light built into millions of tiny reflectors and four light sources by 1024 each light LED light units, that is the total number of cars LED to the 8,192!

With the help of camera module and a special algorithm of radar, miniature reflector automatically at the right of the scene LED light on the road ahead, projecting a specific shape, such as zebra crossing, stop signs, turn to lead designator and distance indicator, and as a result will be able to clear and effective front to warn other vehicles and pedestrians.

Not only that, Daimler's head of external body development and vehicle operating system Gunter Fischer said that in addition to play a role in the direction, the system also wants assurances provide maximum lighting without glare luminance and optimal illuminating vision, for vehicle to vehicle, vehicle and pedestrian night driving scenes of the lack of communication is particularly important.

It is worth mentioning that, two other Germany established car makers Audi and BMW have also launched their own lighting technology, but Mercedes-Benz claims F015 concept Debuts Digital Light whether it is for drivers or other road has an advantage Member, though the lighting system, but the intellectual property is the key.

奔驰新数字灯光系统：转向提示直接投在路面上 - IT资讯

现在汽车厂商们真是想尽各种办法来提高产品的安全性，而在最近奔驰就推出了一项名为Digital Light的头灯照明系统，虽然“数字灯光”的名字听起来真是没什么特色，但实际却真是将“安全”玩出了新花样。

简单来说，Digital Light内置有数以百万计的微型反光板和四个光源，每个光源由1024个LED发光单元组成，也就是说每辆车的LED总数量达到了8192个！

借助于摄像头雷达模块以及特殊算法，微型反光板能够在合适的场景下自动将LED强光在前方路面上投射出特定的形状，比如斑马线、停车标志、转向引导指示符和距离指示，如此一来便能够清楚有效地提醒其他车辆和前方行人。

不仅如此，戴姆勒外部车身开发和车辆操作系统部门负责人Gunter Fischer表示，除了起到一定的指示作用以外，该系统还希望在保证无炫光的情况下提供最大照明亮度和最佳照明视野，这点对于车辆与车辆、车辆与行人缺乏沟通的夜间驾驶场景显得尤为重要。

值得一提的是，另外两家德国老牌汽车厂商奥迪和宝马也都推出了自己的灯光技术，不过奔驰宣称在F015概念车上首次亮相的Digital Light不管是对于驾驶者还是其他道路成员都更具优势，而虽为照明系统，但其背后的智能属性才是关键。
