As for autonomous / driverless driving, can cars be "blind" and not need lights? The demand for headlights in autonomous driving is increasing, requiring better lighting technology. Tesla, for example, has gradually shifted from combining sensors and cameras to pure camera technology. How can you see the light without a target object on a night in the dark? Lighting technology and autonomous driving, intelligent sensing ADAS technology are complementary. There is a function in autonomous driving that when a speed limit sign is photographed, it knows that the speed limit sign is to reduce speed and pay attention to safety. If there is no lighting and the speed limit sign cannot be seen, then the speed limit sign cannot be captured. For another example, if the high beam is fully opened and the speed limit sign, if the distance is very close at night, it will be very dazzling and cannot be seen / recognized. At this point, through interaction with ADAS technology, the adaptive anti-glare (ADB) will inform the light controller to dim the part of the sign a little, so that the traffic signs can be correctly identified, and the ADAS system can remind / warn the driver in time, thus improving driving safety.

In addition to the front and rear lights, the car atmosphere lights, welcome lights, etc., the side of the car prompt lights are used more and more, how to view the energy consumption of car lighting? Conventional halogen lamp, near-light lamp, high-beam lamp, the standard bulb power consumption is about 50 watts, if the headlight contains a near light and a far light, the energy consumption is 100 watts. And LED headlights, conventional near light and far light power consumption is less than 20 watts, significantly more energy saving. However, as the car lights more and more, especially in the car and various atmosphere lights, etc., therefore, car lighting need to seek a balance between practical and energy consumption, especially electric vehicles and other new energy vehicles, its very pay attention to reduce energy consumption, also realize to reduce energy consumption of lighting, and the importance of lighting controller itself energy consumption.
