LOS ANGELES – Audi on Tuesday unveiled the all-electric e-tron Sportback with tech-savvy features such as camera-based "side mirrors" and a new dynamic lighting system.
"They're really amazing, not only for safety, but to make your neighbors a bit jealous," said Sebastian Dingert, product manager fore-tron. The graphics are projected only when the car is parked, however the technology could be used in the future to help alert other drivers to where the vehicle is heading.
The system, which utilizes a chip with 1.3 million pixels to project the light, is illegal under current U.S. standards that essentially only allow stagnant low- and high-beam headlights. "The legal situation is a bit strange and it makes it difficult to plan," said Stephan Berlitz, head of lighting innovation at Audi. "The rest of the world will get this system. There's only one country that doesn't have it."
