Mercedes Digital Light Test: COULD VIDEO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS SAVE YOUR LIFE??

[@porsche558]

Those headlights are absolutely awesome. A system like that has the potential to allow for brighter and better focused headlights without blinding people. North America laws are so out of touch and behind the times with technology it’s painfully hilarious. Also I had to crack up at the “psycho-wagon” comment. Those cars are truly crazy and for anyone that wants a sports car but needs a wagon that’s as close as one can get to that.

Great video! Love the advanced lighting technologies. These need to be applied to almost all new cars. As we get older these advanced systems makes the night drives way less stressful in moose country nighttime driving. Great video Justin!

The ambient lighting in the car will do subtle changes while driving and listening to music. I was blown away with how good it truly is.

It’s crazy that North America’s headlight laws are so antiquated. I believe they’ve recently been changed. I hope automakers can now bring over the full functionality of these advanced headlight systems. Great review as always, Justin!

NHTSA has recently allowed ADB high beam, but it keeps the antiquated maximum luminous intensity of high beam as 75kcd(210kcd in ECE region). The European variant of this headlight actually reaches the 210kcd limit in the center of view(HV point), when all the high beam modules(Matrix high beam as the basic part of the high beam, Pixel high beam and the spotlight high beam) are turned simultaneously.

Good job Mercedes. Generally their European experience is also well adapted for optimum highway adaption. I am not a fan for excessive animation. But for my own night time safety they outperporm just about anything else on the road.

Good job at copying... All these features can be found in many Chinese electric car like for example the HiPhi X which was released 3 years ago.

Has new G Wagon this?

We have terribly outdated lighting laws in Canada and, unfortunately, Transport Canada can no longer pass standards for our own home market, independent of the United States. Let's face it - for decades European manufactures have been well ahead of North America with lighting developments. These M-B lights are a great step forward and I hope to see more use of them on Canadian roads. And speaking of lighting standards - don't even get me started on that uniquely stupid North American phenomenon of red rear turn signals...

Could?

All these features can be found in many Chinese electric car like for example the HiPhi X which was released 3 years ago, Mercedes are copying HiPhi X!

We can only hope some of these lighting systems will"trickle " down to more affordable vehicles .....great job on the "nightshift" again Justin 😊🇨🇦🏒👌

Don't worry, the cost of matrix headlight(formally ADB headlight) is being drastically reduced. The car makers pays only 150~200 dollars to the supplier for the whole assembly of a low-end matrix headlight.
