Kyocera has developed a high beam laser system that combines two light sources. Then the software combining reflected waves from these sourcesrecognizes objects in the dark.
The new system works at night, in rain, snow and fog. According to the developers, the night vision system is equipped with the world’s first headlamp that can emit white (RGB) and near-infrared (NIR) light on the same optical axis. The LEDs are housed in a single laser device that uses gallium nitride (GaN). Reach laser high beam 250 meters.
In addition, the system has an automatic “beamforming” function that prevents oncoming traffic from being dazzled by automatically changing the angle of the light beam when necessary.
The Kyocera system uses artificial intelligence to compare and evaluate RGB and NIR images.
The new technology is still being improved and will not be ready for serial use until after 2027.
