Volvo Lets You Drive High

Automatic high beams have been around since I drove a 70's era Cadillac DeVille, probably longer. At the Geneva Motor Show, Volvo shows a new and improved automatic high beam. Fitted into the S60, V60 and XC60, Volvo's Active High Beam Control shields cars in front of you from the brights. According to Volvo, the system uses the camera already installed for the detection and auto brake systems to identify the other vehicle and the area that needs to be shaded. The control unit talks to a mechanism integrated into the headlamp. A tiny cylinder with metal pieces of different sizes allows the possibility of shading just as much of the beam as necessary. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
