Magneti Marelli, an automotive industry manufacturer specializing in high-tech solutions, will attend the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las-Vegas with the next generation of its Smart Corner headlight tech. The new headlights can be retrofitted with all kinds of sensors, radars and cameras to assist the autonomous vehicle.

Magneti Marelli isn’t the only company on the market pursuing advanced lighting solutions. Many major car manufacturers consider this direction a high R&D priority. For instance, Volkswagen has recently unveiled a LED light concept made up of 30,000 individual LED ‘pixels’ that can be used to project any kind of image onto the road surface. A similar tech has previously been revealed by Mercedes.
