Ford releases new technology for projection headlights

Ford Motor recently released a new video, in which Ford demonstrated headlight technology that can display various information on the road. The headlight technology can project part of the information in front of the vehicle on the road.

In the video, we can see that Ford’s high-resolution headlights can not only illuminate the road ahead while driving but can also be combined with the navigation system to show the road ahead when the vehicle is about to turn or pass through a special road section. The information is projected onto the road, giving the driver a certain prompting effect.

Its headlights can also alert the driver of the road ahead, for example, if there is ice ahead, the car will project a snowflake icon on the road. If the road has a speed limit, it will also project the limited speed onto the road to remind drivers not to speed.

The headlights also project the width of the vehicle, which allows the driver to judge whether there is enough room for a parking space or through a gap. The technology can also assist pedestrians by showing the sidewalk in front of the vehicle if the vehicle is stopped, letting nearby pedestrians know it is safe to cross the road.

Ford officials said that they are still experimenting with this headlight technology, and it is not sure which model of production car it will launch, but the technology may be the first to land in Europe.
