The 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will be bringing more innovations from car makers than the usual brands unveiling. One of the most interesting stands will be BMW’s that has already announced some really new technologies will be shown here for the first time.
Recently we learned that a fully automated parking i3 will be shown, a car that has the capacity of looking for a parking spot and actually using it on its own, technology that will be found on the upcoming 7 Series as well. Now, BMW says that they will also introduce two more premieres.
The first one is intelligent laser light. BMW was the first company to put laser headlights into production with their i8. Now, they are taking things even further offering what we presume to be the same functionality as on the LED Adaptive Lights.
What that means is that the high-beam laser light will be capable of avoiding incoming cars or those in front of you thanks to cameras, sensors and driver assistance systems. There are no more details yet, but things are looking interesting to say the least. Next to the intelligent laser lighting system there will also be a display of OLED technology for the rear lights. It’s basically the same system that was first introduced on the Vision Future Luxury Concept back in 2014.
According to BMW, “by contrast with LEDs, which are a point light source, OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) generate a uniform light across their entire surface. The elements are very thin at just 1.4 millimeters in thickness. This allows individual modules to be activated separately and opens up new possibilities for the design of rear lights.”
It all starts in Las Vegas on the 6th of January.
