Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have announced a smart headlight system that could improve visibility for drivers of automobiles in bad weather. The system uses cameras and a processor to predict the path of raindrops and snowflakes in front of an automobile and redirect headlight beams to shine between those particles. “This is pretty spectacular,” Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group said. “I think it could be very useful.”
