The famous "lamp factory" Audi has the latest masterpiece!
What's so new? What is the purpose of car companies' crazy rolling up lighting technology?
We've worked hard to make a little animation to explain it to you.

Crazy Roll Lighting Technology Why?
Automotive intelligence has been rolled into lighting technology, and even animations can be projected with lights. It looks a little fancy, but is there any practical value to that?
Safe, safe, still safe.
The earliest headlights of automobiles were candle lamps transplanted from horse-drawn carriages. Although faint, it can also illuminate the road at night and, more importantly, allow pedestrians to see the vehicle, making it safer for all traffic participants.
Then there were kerosene lamps, acetylene lamps, tungsten lamps, halogen lamps, and xenon lamps. Brighter, more durable, safer.
In the 21st century, Audi has introduced LED daytime running lights, full LED headlights, matrix LED headlights, laser headlights, projection headlights, and more.
They ushered in a new era in lighting technology and earned Audi the title of lamp factory. No matter how technology develops, the most important role of automotive lights is always safety.
Audi's latest Q6L e-tron is equipped with the latest lighting technology, with LED daytime running lights at the front of the car, upgraded from the original 10 light-emitting units to 61 in each lamp, and below the LED daytime running lights, are the signature matrix LED headlights.
The tail lights use OLED technology, with 6 OLED panels of 60 on each panel, for a total of 360 light-emitting units. All lighting modules are controlled by intelligent chips, which can achieve rich personalized lighting effects and have a great sense of design.
But how can these lighting technologies make driving safer? Let's assume a scenario: you take your family on a trip during the day and drive home from a suburban attraction at night.
In dimly lit places such as national highways and mountain roads, the high beam is automatically turned on, and the angle and light distribution can be automatically adjusted in curves.
If there is an oncoming car in the opposite direction, it can automatically "cut out" to prevent the high beam from swaying to the other party, and if there are non-motor vehicles in the same direction, it can also be automatically identified.
If there is an emergency ahead, such as a large car malfunctioning and stopping on the road, the Q6L e-tron will recognize it and display a "warning triangle" on the tail lights to alert the car behind.
When the car drives back to the city, it will automatically switch the low beam to reduce the irradiation range. When you step on the brakes, the brake lights of the rear spoiler will be projected on the rear window, which is large and very eye-catching.
At the same time, it will also detect the distance between the rear car, if it is less than 2 meters, then the rear OLED light will also change the style to remind the rear car.
When you need to stop temporarily and manually turn on the "double flash", the aforementioned tail light "warning triangle" will also light up at the same time.
Sometimes you may forget to turn on the double flash, but as long as there is a vehicle or bicycle passing behind, the tail lights can also sense it, and automatically switch to the "warning triangle" mode to remind the rear car.
All of this is done automatically before you know it, resulting in better lighting safety for yourself, your family, and other traffic participants.
Advanced lighting technology is not a gimmick, but should be smarter and safer. Looking back on the history of the development of automotive lighting, the world's well-known brands have shown their abilities and made efforts to this end.
Among them, Audi has always played an important role, not only in the lighting technology innovation, with time to accumulate technology, but also in the unremitting pursuit of design and aesthetics, interpreting the people-oriented technology.
I believe that many people remember the tear-eye LED headlights of Audi A4L, so that the Chinese people who have the concept of "finishing touch" since ancient times realize that the original car headlights have more meaning in addition to lighting.
This finishing touch not only gives the lights a soul, but also the whole vehicle a soul, but also gives the cold technology a soul.
In the vast universe, the communication between all things can only rely on electromagnetic waves, and the visible electromagnetic waves are called light. Car lighting should not only be a technology, but also a bridge of communication between language, people and cars.
