MYP Matrix Headlights
- Thread starter nate704
- Start date
My 2 weeks was supposed to be taken in a sarcastic tone. LOLprogress…but sure 2 weeks!
Want to bring life back to this thread. As far as I know the only thing functional about the matrix headlights are the auto highbeams. But if I am not mistaken that is something that even the reflector based headlights have too? When will tesla make full use of the matrix lights? I am talking about adaptive lighting, beam control, angle, following the direction of turn of the steering wheel.....that sort of functionality. Otherwise what's the point of having matrix headlights?

You get a cool output that say "TESLA" during the light show. 
Matrix/Adaptive headlights are technically legal in the US now, but the specs / testing requirements for them to be approved haven't been released by the NHTSA so no manufacturer has activated them in the US yet.
I assume Tesla will prioritize it once approval specs are available.

US Department of transportation is a direct impediment to progress in automotive technology. PS I want my windows to roll up whenever I want.
I know, right… I hate the safety features for the windows that keeps them from rolling up in the pouring rain when your car hits a bump as rolling them up.
i saw a benz mutibeam working 3 weeks ago i was behind a benz)
bmw and audi are working as well
Not in the US. Perhaps was automatic high beam, but was not adaptive/pixel. None of them are activated on any US vehicle.
I have a new MB with the advanced headlights, and they currently only work with automatic high beam.

I had a 2013 BMW 550i xDrive that had adaptive headlights. Granted they were HID but they turned left and right in the direction I was turning when taking a corner and that's a 10 year old car by now. Not sure what the difference would be between that and the matrix headlights but it sure would be nice to have that feature back again.
Even without the matrix function, the "matrix" headlight on Tesla cars have very bright and wide coverage, so that they don't have to swivel side to side.
I have a Mercedes with their current gen digital headlights, and it can project symbols on the road ahead of you. For example, if you depart your lane without signaling, it will draw an arrow pointing at the lane maker. If it sees a pedestrian on the road at night, it will draw around the pedestrian. And if you're doing an automatic lane change, it will draw an arrow on the road to show what lane your changing into.
