Ford’s new Glare-Free Highbeam technology – Video

 

“Ask any driver what the most annoying habits of other drivers are and sooner or later the subject of people who don’t dip their headlights will come up,” says Michael Koherr, Lighting Systems research engineer at Ford.

“Ford’s new Glare-Free Highbeam helps maximize the use of high beam and means drivers can see significantly more of the road ahead – without causing any distraction to other road users.”

Ford’s new Glare-Free Highbeam system works by utilizing a windshield-mounted camera to detect headlights or taillights of vehicles and even bicycles, at distances of up to 800 meters during the night. Then, the specially developed headlights will block the light that could otherwise temporarily blind other motorists.
