Vehicles to Don Anti-Glare Headlights. US researchers, who include an Indian-origin scientist, have developed a smart head-light that enables drivers to take full advantage of their high beams without fear of blinding oncoming drivers or suffering from the glare that they can be subject to when driving in snow or rain at night.

Washington: US researchers, who include an Indian-origin scientist, have developed a smart head-light that enables drivers to take full advantage of their high beams without fear of blinding oncoming drivers or suffering from the glare that they can be subject to when driving in snow or rain at night.

The programmable head-light senses and tracks virtually any number of oncoming drivers, blacking out only the small parts of the head-light beam that would otherwise shine into their eyes. "With our programmable system, we can actually make head-lights that are even brighter than today's without causing distractions for other drivers on the road," said Srinivasa Narasimhan, an associate professor of robotics at the Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute.
