What do you think – super helpful or more distracting? It seems like most augmented reality products are focused on screens and glass. These headlights from ford display information right on the road! From Ford News Europe:
Ford engineers are trialling new headlight technology that could help ensure those behind the wheel literally keep their eyes on the road. The headlight can project directions, speed limits or weather information onto the road so the driver’s gaze can remain fixed on the way ahead.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
I would love these for one use case: renting a car in a country that drives on the side that opposite to my home side (right side), some kind of warning flashed on the road would be a good safety measure.
