Audi Matrix LED headlights have been with us for just under two years, but it seems that there is no end in sight to their potential. That's why the Audi A6 allroad quattro and A6 Avant went almost to the end of the world, to Norway, which, due to the Scandinavian extravagance of darkness, aurora borealis and snowy scenery, seemed like the ideal environment to put the headlights to the ultimate test.

Audi Matrix LED headlights they are as stunning as the aurora borealis. It is about electronically controlled system front matrix lights with a bunch of projectors that illuminate the road depending on the conditions. In the case of an approaching vehicle or cyclist, e.g. the luminosity of the LED bulbs decreases, thereby eliminates the possibility of interference "opponent". Including a night vision system recognize an unlit pedestrian and either warns him with three warning flashes, or in the event that we stop, to the pedestrian on the road visually signals, so that he can cross safely.

At the same time, the Audi Matrix LED headlights outline our path, mark the width of our vehicle when we pass through a narrower section, and automatically regulate the beam of light also according to driving dynamics, speed and road surface, not only according to the presence of other vehicles. And all the reactions that he otherwise commands one computing unit, which rules 19 mini diodes and which can be activated individually are a matter of milliseconds. Otherwise, the Matrix LED collar lights are already breathing OLED headlights, which also move the revolution to the last light bodies. More in the photo gallery.
