Lincoln MKX Illuminates Road Safety

Said headlights swivel left and right as the vehicle changes direction. The addition of the new headlights is designed to provide clearer visibility at the same time to serve a good warning to pedestrians and other drivers on the road.Also, the new auto part increases the area of light on the road. "The way the optics in this system work together has not been seen before in the exterior lighting world," said Dassanayake. "Besides being a beautifully designed light, the system helps drivers to take corners and curves more safely -- and consume less energy while doing so."
"The idea is to bring the light to the road," said Mahendra Dassanayake, staff technical specialist, "providing the driver with as much information about what's ahead as possible." Dassanayake added, "It swings the beam into the turning lane faster than the car can get there. So it gives the driver the ability to see farther during a turn."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 42 percent of all crashes and 58 percent of fatal crashes in the United States happen at night or during other degraded visibility conditions. This is one of the great reasons why clear visibility is a paramount consideration.
