During snow or rain showers, the headlight improves driver vision by tracking individual flakes and drops in the immediate vicinity of the car and blocking the narrow slivers of headlight beam that would otherwise illuminate the precipitation and reflect back into the driver's eyes,” the researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute stated.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: Aerohive The New Mobility: Astonishingly Simple and Powerful Mobility has not only changed how we live, it is also dramatically changing the network infrastructures that we rely on.
