Expect new kinds of headlamps that will always run on high beam in the next three to five years.
According to a report, Gentex, maker of headlamp sensors, is developing a new system that would let headlamps run on high beam without blinding oncoming motorists. The company will use special shutters to achieve this.
“We’re working with lamp makers who are developing complex lights with shutters driven by gearwheels to dynamically alter the way the light works,” said Gentex’s Klaus Wiebler.
The shutters will stop dazzle by masking the high beam. Even with this setup, the driver still gets full illumination because the beam would still stay on.
