Astro Studios unveils smart road system

February 27 reports that driverless cars do protect passengers in their cars to a certain degree, but from another perspective, who will protect passerby and riders nearby? To date, there have been three solutions available on the market: drone airbags for pedestrians; steering wheels for passengers in the car to have the ultimate decision-making authority; and reticulated streets connected in real time.

In response to this challenge, San Francisco-based Astro Studios developed an intelligent infrastructure system that includes warning lights, street lighting, and instant reaction streets that provide the maximum cushion for pedestrians and vehicles at worst. The initial idea for the system was presented by Astro's creative directors Norio Fujikawa and Alejandro Chavetta. Alejandro firmly believes that driverless cars will give priority to protecting passengers in the car when a danger occurs. Therefore, the city's infrastructure system must provide basic security for other pedestrians.

Designed for cyclists warning lights

Astro Studios proposed that the car lay down a laser projection on the driving route in advance to prevent pedestrians from being in danger due to blind spots. In addition, as for the low-beam and high-beam led car headlights on the front of the car, they were originally intended to prompt others to communicate with the driver. Now Astro has changed its function to inform pedestrians that they are not in the blind spot.

Smart street lighting

Astro envisions that the street glows on its own and uses light to alert pedestrians about the route ahead so that pedestrians can avoid all possible dangers. There is also a way: when the pedestrian intends to cross the street, the street automatically shows a pedestrian crossing, the vehicle can not pass by. "If the car does not have time to change the line, the pedestrian crossing turns red and pedestrians know it can not pass."

Instant response to the street

If both of these warning systems failed, Astro also designed the last layer of protection - an automatic accident prevention device.The first option is to magnetize the road, and if the car discovers it will inevitably hit pedestrians, the magnetized road will absorb the car to its maximum extent.

Currently, we have streets that automatically heat to melt snow and that provide temporary power to electric cars when no electricity is available. At the same time, companies such as 3M are also actively involved in smart streets and road signs, showing that the future is very promising. As Fujikawa said, "As the vehicles are smart, how can not the road evolve?"

Popularize knowledge of different car lights’ different uses - part 1

Since the cars have been invented, it is more than a century. Every part of the car has its own specific functions. Cars are equipped with various functions of the lights, making driving a car safer and more convenient. There are car headlights, turn signal lights, show wide lights, near and far light, daytime running lights, fog lights, rear taillights, brake lights, reversing lights and license plate lights and so many other Car Lights. Do you know what are their different uses? Do you know how to maintain, and replace these headlights? Let's take a look at these different Car Lights.

1. Car Headlights

The led car headlights are divided into two types: low beam and high beam. It is mainly used for driving at night. Low beam light for driving in the city with street lights, high beam lights for highways or roads without streetlight. In case of heavy fog, snow or heavy rain, then the low beam should be switched on even during the day; although there is lighting in some sections, the brightness is not sufficient then the low beam should also be switched on. The high beam should only be used if there is no other light on the road and there is no vehicle on the opposite road. Otherwise, the high-beam light will seriously interfere with each other's eyes, and even cause traffic accidents. Therefore, the high beam must be switched to low beam when you encounter other cars.

If possible, you can choose a pair of xenon hid headlights especially during the Car Headlights Wholesale deals, xenon hid car headlight not only has enough brightness, long life, it also has a feature: the color temperature is very high, close to the daylight color temperature, so it is also a protection to the driver's eyes. For more advanced car headlight, try the led car headlights which is the most long span, durable, economical and environmentally-friendly.
