Audi Q3 now comes with adaptive projection lighting
The new Audi Q3 features Ams Osram's EVIYOS HD25 pixel-based microLED lighting solution, delivering a higher level of adaptive illumination and driver feedback while enhancing road safety.
“EVIYOS represents a paradigm shift in automotive lighting, from passive illumination to active, data-driven light communication,” says Sylvia Weise, senior product manager at Ams Osram: “By integrating this technology into the Audi Q3, we are enabling a new class of compact vehicles to deliver premium-level safety and user interaction through light.”
EVIYOS HD25 is a fully digital, high-resolution lighting solution comprising a matrix of over 25,000 individually addressable pixels. This architecture is designed to enable the precise, real-time modulation of the light distribution pattern based on sensor input, vehicle dynamics, and environmental conditions. The system supports both static and dynamic projections, allowing for context-aware visual communication between the vehicle and its surroundings.
Light-guiding functions like lane and orientation lights are now more closely linked to driver assistance systems, projecting key information directly onto the road to enhance safety. New features include visual warnings from the lane change assistant in the lane light when a vehicle is in the blind spot, lane departure indications, and an ice warning symbol projected at speeds above 70 km/h (43,5 mph).
In construction zones, the digital matrix LED headlights automatically switch from lane light to orientation light to simplify staying in one lane in narrow areas. Drivers can deactivate functions like lane lights individually via the Audi MMI and choose between three extended coming-home or leaving-home light designs. Combined with the microLED light source, the digital Matrix LED headlights offer highly precise high-beam distribution and improved glare control, enhancing overall road safety.
