Audi have been at it again, this time demonstrating their new light technology at the E3 show. Some of it fairly ordinary and not exciting like LED headlamps which will alter the warmth of the light to match the driving conditions and provide best visibility in all circumstances. Some of it middle of the road such as the use of Laser Diodes as rear lights on a car which project no only a visible red light but also a line on the road marking safe stopping distance depending on the speed of the car.
What really interests me is their use of OLED technology to remove the rear light clusters on a car altogether and turn the body work into the light. Audi Swarm just looks amazing, especially when you consider there is no bulb to blow out so better safety, but imagine seeing something like this on the back of the car in front of you. It also changes the movement based upon turning, braking, speed etc. I want one now...
