Drivers can struggle to see when driving at night in a rainstorm or snowstorm, but a new smart headlight system can improve visibility by constantly redirecting light to shine between particles of precipitation. The system, demonstrated in laboratory tests, prevents the glare that occurs when headlight beams are reflected by precipitation back toward the driver.
