Audi is introducing the first Digital Matrix LED headlights that can project images on the road like a movie projector in its new electric SUVs. With the launch of the 2021 versions of the e-tron and e-tron Sportback, Audi is announcing the introduction of updated Digital Matrix LED headlights that projects images around the vehicle:
“As lighting technology advances, Audi continues leading the way, now offering Digital Matrix LED (DML) headlights as optional equipment in 2021 e-tron and e-tron Sportback models. This is the first time DML headlights have been mass-produced for a production vehicle.”Audi says that there will be 5 different graphics available at launch:
“Comprised of 1.3 million micromirrors per headlight, DML headlights essentially operate like movie projectors, emitting tiny unique particles or adaptable light. At market introduction, this lighting technology offers a selection of five different welcome/leaving animations when the vehicle is parked, each with unique motion graphics and text selected through a vehicle’s MMI touchscreen display.”

Here are a few features enabled by the Digital Matrix LED headlights:
A 50-meter “light carpet” that is designed to keep light within the driver’s lane and extends the carpet left or right when changing lanes and helps to avoid a “blinding” effect for oncoming traffic.
Low-beam curved lighting that bends below oncoming traffic and can help illuminate people or objects on the side of the road, which are otherwise difficult to detect.
Electrostatically controlled micromirrors that can adjust light beam pixels up to 5,000 times per second.
On-ground light arrows that place the vehicle’s tires within its lane.
Extreme megacar meets spacious and practical interior
Inside, the e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT design marries sporty ergonomics with passenger comfort. Even with their tapering rooflines, both cars effortlessly house up to 5 occupants. In front of the driver, the continuous horizontal lines of the dash hold a centre instrument console and touch screen panel that just seem to float. And front Sport seats, available in leather or leather-free, give optimum support, even when cornering at speed.
