Koplampbundels that in order to send. Opel is making it.

Opel gives us today a look into the future and presents his plans for Guiding Light. A project where opel’s are equipped with a camera that the eye movements of the driver follows. Together with the Technical University of Darmstadt they have a oogvolgsysteem made that the images of the camera sales in the commands for the servo motors of the koplampreflectoren. Look to the left, and the beam rotates to. And vice versa. Drive works much better in the dark, says Opel.

Eye movements are approximately 50 times per minute scanned, and also in the dark would be the system, that makes use of infrared sensors and light-sensitive diodes, it should work.

There are still a few hooks and eyes. Remember to not be blinded by oncoming traffic if you are just a little too long at a passing car look. Or the back of your beams if you have unnoticed with your eyes back and is running again. This is being done: “We have a kind of vertragingsfilter built in for a more smooth movement of the beams,” says Ingolf Schneider, Director of Lighting Technology at the German brand. “Calibrating the oogvolgsysteem for each individual driver is therefore not required. And if the driver aside-looks, the headlamps just in the direction of seem.”

It is not yet, when Guiding Light to the new opel’s. But that this is the future of opel’s technology, that seems certain.
