Unique Lamp Patent from Ford

Ford Motor Co. applied for patents for headlamps and other additional lights that are quite unique and interesting. This patent is named "vehicle lighting system with dynamic beam pattern".
This system will use a series of lights and a small mirror to project pixels. As a result, the main light can emit certain symbols and shapes on the asphalt.
Further explained, this patent consists of several applications. For example he showed how the lights can help the driver park the car.
By pressing a button on a key phob, the system will project an arrow pointing to the ground, so the rider can clearly see the length of the car. Of course this is very useful when you want to park in parallel.
The lamp can also project light to the rear of the car. It shows the driver how much space he has before, for example, hit the wall.
For this is actually more effective if using the rear camera. But the advantage is that it is cheaper.
Ford is not actually the first manufacturer to innovate on lights. Suzuki for example, recently also registered a unique lamp patent for motorcycles.
Based on the explanation on the morebikes.co.uk page, it is known that this is simply a system that allows the direction of LED lights (which amount to four) to adjust to various conditions.
