Ford introduced smart car lighting system to detect pedestrians

Smart cars can not only reflect more feature-rich automotive systems, and how to make cars safer for drivers and pedestrians is also a hot spot for smart car development. Just recently, the famous car manufacturer Ford introduced a smart lighting system called Spot Lighting, which helps drivers avoid pedestrians and other obstacles better while driving at night. Friends who have had driving experience at night must know that the headlamps can only illuminate the far front of the road when the vehicle is straight ahead. The front side of the vehicle is still dark, but pedestrians sometimes appear in this area until the driver discovers Maybe it really too late. To avoid this potential safety hazard, Ford added an infrared imaging camera to the Spot Lighting lighting system, which allows the system to detect pedestrian positions and assess the hazard by detecting the source of heat, after which the fog lights below the headlights turn on The driver sees potential danger. Not only that, thanks to Ford's adaptive lighting technology and traffic sign recognition technology, Spot Lighting can also use the camera mounted on the rearview mirror and GPS to automatically determine the road conditions, and adjust the lighting parameters such as beam width accordingly Or through the crossroads to increase the lighting range. At the same time, these parameters are also logged and automatically recalled when the vehicle passes through again. Slightly regrettable is that Ford said that the current intelligent lighting system is still in the pilot stage, so the next generation of Ford models is unlikely to make appearance.
