In addition, it’s easy to “out drive” your low beams. High beams point outward, not downward, substantially improving the driver’s ability to detect hazards at a greater distance. However, because low beams point downward and illuminate the road in front of the vehicle, they’re not as effective as high beams at illuminating obstacles hundreds of feet in advance of the vehicle. Recent developments in headlamp technology have focused on making low beams brighter. SmartBeam is a major breakthrough in nighttime driving safety because it maximizes the use of the vehicle’s high beams. However, if traffic suddenly appears, such as when cresting a hill or rounding a corner, the system will immediately turn off the high beams. To make the transition from low to high beams and back again less distracting and more aesthetically pleasing, SmartBeam is designed to slowly fade the high beams on and off.

SmartBeam optimizes the use of a vehicle’s headlamp system in order to provide the maximum amount of light possible for any driving scenario. The result is an intelligent, high-beam headlamp control system that greatly improves nighttime-driving safety. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. The SmartBeam system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror. Did we miss anything?
