Audi’s next generation LED matrix headlights

• Audi launches next-generation lighting technology with EV e-tron (2021)
• Matrix LED headlights operate like video projectors (pixel-based lighting and animation)

What the heck is Matrix LED?

• A 150 foot “light carpet” that is designed to keep light within the driver’s lane and extends the carpet left or right when changing lanes and helps to avoid a “blinding” effect for oncoming traffic
• Beamforming to prevent “dazzling” other oncoming traffic.
• Micromirrors that can adjust light beam pixels up to 5,000 times per second
• On-ground light arrows that place the vehicle’s tires within its lane
• Highlighting of pedestrians or objects on the road

US Availability

Although full functionality of Matrix LED headlights is not yet fully available in the U.S., Audi will continue to work with federal regulators.
