Chinese EVs Can Now Project Movies from Their Headlights (insideevs.com)

American IP Lawyers are gunna be having some interesting thoughts now... ;)

Now if only this car I'm sitting behind in this traffic jam had a nice big white screen mounted in the back ...

I wonder what movies the Audi and BMW drivers tailing 3 inches behind me will play when this drops.

>It's [sic] can also project interactive games for kids (like hopscotch).

That's exactly what we need, to teach little johnny to go play out in front of the running car!

This is almost like Onion levels of parody how much better Chinese EVs are than American ones

[dead]

Why would you want that?

That'll put a whole new spin on drive in movie theaters...

It’s 2026. Headlines don’t have to obfuscate brands behind the country of origin.

Friend really likes the laneway lines feature at night but noted practicality is correlated with proliferation. Can't have too many of these on the road crossing streams with light pollution.

The demo video saves the most impressive for the very end — the “go ahead and cross, pedestrian” light. Remains to be seen how well it works in the real world but it’s cool nonetheless.

These EV makers will soon find out they have to set up a team to censor the stuff they can project.

This sounds like it was written by the CCP. Chinese EVs = futuristic tech. American EVs = much shame.

That means they can project advertisements too.

“The U.S. just recently allowed adaptive headlights”

My most-surprising takeaway is that anybody regulates headlights in America. The runaway-brightness problem is real, well known and totally ignored.

Interesting, this tech is already in some chinese EV car models since 3 years ago, so it's not super new.

this is objectively a gimmick, but like, pretty cool

i'm glad engineers somewhere are getting to work on fun stupid shit

I remember reading a research about using a projector like headlights with a high resolution camera that can capture the position of each raindrop and selectively turn off projection on each raindrop’s position in real time so you can still see clearly at night without being blinded by the reflection from the raindrops. It’ll be cool if they can incorporate that once this headlight projection tech becomes widely available.
