Osram’s latest smart automotive technologies make car lighting much brighter and enable a doubled high-beam range. The improved down-road visibility and clarity for the drivers increases safety for all on the road. The fatality rate of night-time travel is up to four times that of day-time travel.
The latest automotive technology using invisible light, LiDAR (light detection and ranging), plays a key role in advanced driver-assistance systems, which are increasingly enabling semi-autonomous to fully autonomous driving capabilities. LiDAR systems generate laser pulses that hit objects and reflect light back onto a detector. The time of travel of the laser beam establishes the distance to the object.
