Post technoslop that is actually cool/useful
>>29005546My current Lexus and the previous one have/had this feature, which is actually fantastic, too bad that I never drive during the evening so it's a waste of money 99.5% of the year.
>>29005546>3$ bulb vs 6k$ headlight unit
>>29005555literally no modern car has $3 headlights anymore anon.
>>29005546>post heckin tech gimmicks that we can zoi over together!
>>29005556why the fuck would i buy a modern car?
>>29005546this shit never works fast enough. just stop driving with your highs on at 5pmi swear, modern drivers are all fucking blind
>>29005594The cheap ones are like that, like the ones you see on cheap cars like Toyota Yaris/Cross and Opel Corsa, if you equip them on premium/luxury cars they work wonderfully but a single headlight will cost you 3000€ as spare part.
>>29005564have you checked the topic of the thread you're posting in>>29005596chinks are starting to release $100 replacements. there's nothing particularly crazy technology wise about these, it's just OEM markup.
>>29005546oh good so the source is actually less apparent to oncoming, still silhouettes everything in front of them so they cant see shit, and turns the road into a rave as it freaks out trying to calculate what's a car and what's notjust reduce the fucking brightness and use a reflective housing
>>29005546>now i can blind people on BOTH sides of the road across 4 lanes of traffic.
>>29005660>>29005691fighting windmillsit's objectively better than modern ledslop and ledslop isnt going anywhere, might as well do this
>>29005546How about they just don't build bazillion lumen headlights?
>>29005715Don't be anti-semitic
>>29005706nah they'll just disable adaptive shit and install light bars and suchwe just gotta start killing people likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_aBgoIB8K4
>>29005715i'd argue that it's the same problem plaguing street lighting - brighter isn't always better, especially when the transition/contrast between light and dark areas is so great that someone can actually hide themselves by simply standing just outside the illuminated area
>>29006035that's just racist.
>>29005546This bullshit doesn't work and I'm tired of pretending like it does
>>29005715but you can get a 700 megawatt equivalent led that only pulls 8W why wouldn't we just make every light as bright as the sun? what's the worst that could happen?
>>29005546I've witnessed that in 3 different cars and in all of them it kept failing at least 2 times per drive and got angrily honked/ flashed at in retaliation. Absolute meme tech
Retards disnt need these 30 years agoAll of a sudden retards need these nowThese lights are a cancer and i want to burn down 159375186 car dealerships in retaliation
I still don't understand what was so wrong with halogen lightbulbs that we had to replace them.
>>29008403Do you people who always say this ever drive where there is no street lighting? 1000 lumen halogens are terrible when it's pitch black. They're even terrible when there is street lighting. They usually don't have a wide light spread so you don't see the retarded 2 legged animals about to jump out from the parked cars. Bright headlights are safer in situations like these.
>>29005546Tesla won
not that i would ever use that shit myself, but when boomers cry about "no physical dials/knobs, having to look at a screen" bullshit.nigga its the year of our lord 2026. we have literal voice activation now. you want to listen to alex jones selling you some water filters, say hey siri/cortana/bixby play alex jones telling me the frogs are gay and you can keep your eyes on the bus your about to t-bone at 95 miles per hour while opening a beer with one hand and holding a cheeseburger in the other.like holy FUCK get with the TIMES.
>>29008407They're like that so you don't blind other people. If you absolutely need more light and there's nobody else around then there's this neat invention called "high beams" you can use.
>>29008473but im always using highbeams
I'm 36. Driving at night is only getting worse. Even if these systems worked, the light source is still so bright, and the intensity of light on the area so great it is blinding. Yesterday while driving during the late afternoon, I was hit by an increasing pain in the eyes. Confused and scanning around, my sight settled on a man on a bicycle and I realized it was the 4 inch, round, led lamp on his bike lit up and searing my retinas. Everyone will become blind at the culmination of this arms race.
>>29008419button/switch just werks
>>29008407>They're even terrible when there is street lightingthat's because modern LED street lights are so bright that the contrast between lit and unlit areas is great enough to obscure objects you used to be able to see with dimmer bulbs.the correct application of LEDs would've been to generate the same total light output (and colour temperature) as the old mercury or sodium vapor lamps they replaced.
360 cameras are goat
Screens should not be in cars retards
>>29008517>save to move
>>29008419No, eat shit consoomer
>>29008553>cant even readfuckin boomers
>>29008537>he savescums when parkingyou didn't beat the parallel parking spot
>>29005715I drove around in Vegas at night with a tinted windshield and didnt realize my headlights were off because the streets are so well lit. Even the freeways have massive lights.So in that situation the 10,000 lumen retina burners on every other car are a nuisance and accomplish nothing for the driver but are still a hindrance to oncoming traffic.In contrast im now in the sticks and on a cloudy moonless night I had to stick my head out the window of that car to see and putt home at 35mph.Now when I drive 15 miles and see 32 deer and zero other cars im grateful for the LED upgrade.
>>29008495>new tech needs to mimic objectively shit tech for my nostalgia autismgrow up
>>29008407That's what your high beams are for.
>>29008419>Just let the megacorps keep a transcript of everything you ever say bro
>>29010842more bright is not objectively more betterour eyes are built to adapt to low light conditions and they do it quite well when they're not being intermittently seared by 10000 lumen LEDs
>>29008407I live in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma. County roads with no lights. Literal non-issue pearl clutching bitch nigga.
>>29010849>*his drive home in Oklahoma
>>29010549lmao
>>29010855That except with forest because I'm in the southeast.
>>29010848thats not how any of this shit works
>>29010883that is, in fact, how it works
>>29010893>more bright is not objectively more better>thats why i want narrow cri eye raping bright baseddium lamps backyou are aware that a mere 100w sodium street light is >10.000 lumen? and that they go up to 400w?you are a fucking clown lolits like claiming that a UV laser is not bright when looking at it face on
>>29010899Try focusing on the actual point I was making instead of getting hung up on a random number I threw out.Would it make it better if I had said eleventy fucktillion lumens?
>>29010920>Try focusing on the actual point I was makingthat one?>worse tech = better than objectively better tech because muh childhood memories>nu-tech needs to be as shit as in my childhoodListen you fucker, nobody in their right mind has ever claimed >well duh, i actually prefer low cri flickering cfl over incandecent in my living room
>>29010922you don't need to use the higher efficiency of LEDs to make every light eye searingly bright all the time
>>29010936led bulbs on the market dont have higher efficiency than sodium lamps, they are pretty much equal.your point is trash and you lack any meaningfull knowlege on the topic, are you at retirement age with developing dementia or a 30y old boomer?
>>29010942leds draw 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of power of a sodium lamp for the same level of illumination
>>29010951thats not true. with sodium lamps the majority of illuminations is simply not perceived because the wavelength band is so narrow. it still eye rapes you at 590nm
>>29008517i love engrish so heckin much bro's
>>29008419i find touchscreens hard to operate blind, and i am a dirty pig furfag nigger who owns lots of tools i use badly so my fingats are constantly covered in fine metal shavings or grease that makes touchscreens work worse. also i just like clicky buttons
>>29005546>blinds you>adjusts headlights>moves on to the next victim
>>29008419>say hey siri/cortana/bixby
>>29008419shut up retard
>>29005546>eLSD>blind spot cameras in side mirrors>tracking performance metrics
>>29011034>eLSDsaid literally no one ever
>>29011047on FWD they're based
>>29010842lol. there was a town in the US that did exactly what i described and the local cops said they could see better at night
Love me apple carplay
>>29008495there are three issues with the current LED design. first is that they all have lenses, which no shit, focus the light and have the cutoff you mentioned earlier. they also are usually not applying a DC current to the diode itself for whatever reason of heat, cost, etc., and that means flickering. then they all, even nominally warmer color temp lights, have shit peaky spectral spikes that both overactivate your rods and don't sufficiently illuminate and contrast what gets lit up. the peaky spectrum makes it hard to mentally register detail. there are like 4 or 5 companies total that make good LED lighting, and you usually have to buy in bulk as an institution or business like a movie studio or museum, there aren't really any resellers and aren't any good ways to buy them as replacements instead of initial equipment
Without fail, whenever someone says that helper tech XYZ is oh so useful, it's always1. not actually all that useful if you have a brain2. a major source of annoyance and/or danger to everyone else on the road
>>29013128>apple carplay is putting white american children in DANGERkill yourself
>>29005596>if you equip them on premium/luxury cars they work wonderfully but a single headlight will cost you 3000€ as spare part.no they fucking do not. every single new bmw, mercedes, audi equipped with this bullshit blinded me. The milisecond delay it takes for this to work is enough to make your eyes lose their adaptation to the dark. not only this, the new super bright bullshit will blind you even if its perfectly aligned if there's any moisture on the ground. the fucking reflections are brighter now than most headlights were 5 years agoanything other than halogen headlights should be banned and strictly regulated. FUCK. i hate driving at night now
>>29011047I think i prefer it over one wheel locking the other out of traction. >>29005596Matrix is nice on Tesla. But its also a car where the OEM headlights are tilted wrong by factory, and the software is not setup for the Matrix to recalibrate on wrong headlight tilt. So you still would need to visit shop for calibration, otherwise the blackout pixels would be misplaced as fuck.Legacy implementation is pretty horrid, for VAG/BWM/JDM. Its all the same sensors. Either it defects cut off correctly, or its a shit show. >>29008517You can angle a dead zone mini mirror dowbward for 90% of the same effect. Stick it in the outher edge of the mirror and angle it.But its pretty based once its also combined with side cameras, so you no longer have to do any guessing.
>>29005715>Why don't they just start making them badly on purpose?
>>29008473With halogens the regular light is so goddawful I have to use high beams all the time, which blinds people worse
>>29010549It's not my fault road rng is so bullshit
>>29011759>We should make things worse for everyone so that the pigs can ticket people better
>>29005554how do you never drive at night wtf
>>29010965So they're spending loads of power on something literally useless for their purpose?
>>29013909yes, the bulbs in pic are actually as brigh as modern high beams
>>29014679So they're just as bright, but illuminate things less
>>29013906how is being able to see better at night worse for everyone? or do cops have superhuman eyesight?
>>29008419im never gunna speak to electronics dickhead.
>>29005546Most of it is actually pretty cool and useful. This place just likes to be contrarian
>>29005546this tech could be repurposed so that instead of selectively dimming, it directs high powered lasers at the enemy cars
>>29013907Nigga, I drive during the day.
>>29005555Checked.Nailed it.This is utter ridiculousness.People are literally sick because of these damn LEDS and the missing light spectrum.Bring back:1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.
>>29017887So true!
>>29018343>Bring back:>1. Mercury vapor or Sodium vapor lighting for cities and highways>2. Halogen bulbs for vehicles.You can just mimic the light output of these instead of making everything 100k lumen eye searing bright white, and get vastly lower energy consumption and far better longevity to boot
>>29005546This is nightmare. If there is a glass wall nearby or polished railing then in bounces the light and your retina is stormed with hipernova explosion because SmartCar is too stupid to turn off the high beams
>>29018974shut up, retard
