What is Intelligent Light System?
Intelligent Light System is one of these developments, designed based on artificial intelligence, optical sensors and analytical algorithms, and its goal is to optimize the driver’s vision in various road conditions. Today, headlights are no longer just a means of lighting the road ahead, but have become an active and intelligent element in improving safety, detecting danger and even interacting with other drivers.
The most important features of the Intelligent Light System
Adaptive Headlights
This feature is especially important on winding roads or in limited visibility conditions (such as driving at night or in fog). When entering a bend, the lights tilt in the same direction as the car turns and illuminate the dark area in front; this significantly reduces the risk of hitting obstacles or pedestrians.
Auto High Beam
In cars with this system, cameras are installed in the front of the car that analyze the road ahead. If a car is seen in the opposite lane, the high beam is automatically turned off so that the driver’s vision is not disturbed.
Adaptive light with speed
At high speeds, the driver’s focus is more on the road ahead. In such conditions, the intelligent lighting system provides the driver with sufficient visibility by increasing the light range. Conversely, at low speeds, the light is directed towards the surrounding and closer areas to provide more control over the vehicle’s surroundings.
Preventing annoyance and disturbance of the vision of the driver in front (Glare-Free High Beam)
One of the most advanced features of this system is glare-free high beam. Unlike conventional systems that completely turn off the high beam, this technology is able to reduce only parts of the light that shines towards oncoming vehicles.
Special lighting in specific weather conditions
Weather conditions such as fog, rain or snow can affect the intensity and angle of the light. The Intelligent Light system in some vehicles can adjust its lighting mode specifically for such conditions.
Leading brands using the Intelligent Light System
Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2021 onwards
System: MULTIBEAM LED
This car uses the most advanced version of intelligent lighting, which is able to adjust the light in a fully digital and spot-by-spot manner and even illuminate pedestrians specifically.
BMW 5 Series G30
System: BMW Laserlight
This technology uses laser light to provide a visibility range of up to 600 meters at high speeds and is synchronized with GPS maps to adjust the light angle before reaching a bend.
Audi A6 / A7
System: HD Matrix LED
With the ability to independently illuminate specific areas, prevent annoying oncoming drivers, and advanced visual effects when locking and unlocking the car.
Toyota Camry XSE New Models
System: AHS
With adaptive light in bends, automatic high beam, and optimal performance in urban night conditions.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2021 onwards
System: Smart High Beam
With the ability to detect vehicles in the opposite lane and automatically adjust the light, this system provides a comfortable and safe experience.
Chinese cars available in Iran
Although their features are not as advanced as European brands, it is a positive step in improving safety in its own right.
Benefits of using intelligent lighting in cars
Increase safety
Reduce driver fatigue
Environmental compatibility
Preventing nuisance to other drivers
Ultimately, Intelligent Light System technology can be considered an effective step towards making cars smarter and improving driving safety. With the increasing demand for driver assistance systems, this type of technology has found its place not only in luxury cars but also in mid-range cars.
