In the future, your headlights may be able to display navigation or speed limit information.
Ford engineers in Europe are testing headlights able to project various shapes on the road as a way to reduce distraction.
Head-up displays already project vital information within the driver's line of sight, so engineers tried to do the same with a vehicle's headlights. Ford's prototype system can cast light to denote directions, speed limits, or weather information onto the road ahead. This can help drivers keep their eyes on the road instead of glancing at screens, Ford said, adding that even briefly looking away from the road at normal speeds means covering a significant distance blind.Using headlights to project information rather than simply relying on a head-up display could also benefit other road users.
The technology could also be used to warn drivers of snow, fog, or ice ahead, Ford said. The automaker also suggested it could connect the lights to the navigation system to show upcoming turns, like a more advanced version of the augmented reality navigation available in some Mercedes-Benz models, or project the width of the vehicle so drivers can judge whether they'll fit through a gap or into a parking space.
