Abstract
A new vehicle lighting device, the first of its kind in the world, has been developed by Lucas. It will augment the car headlamps lower (dipped) beams and will automatically adjust to suit prevailing traffic conditions. This means that without dazzling the oncoming driver, extra light, which doubles the seeing distance, is made available when driving on dipped headlights. Known as the Lucas "autosensa" Automatic Projector, the unit is a result of the Lucas continuous effort to design lighting equipment to match advancing vehicle performance and increased traffic density.
