This week’s DVNewsletter focuses on the Americas, with content from up North in Canada and down South in Brazil, as well as from the United States in the middle.
I’m excited to bring DVN readers along with me, in pictures and words, on my fascinating visit to a driving simulator facility associated with the University of Toronto (Ontario, Canada), unique in the world in that it can realistically simulate glare from oncoming headlamps. It’s a mix of field-trip report and interview, longer than most articles we usually publish, so please drop a line and let me know what you think of it.
Meanwhile, an intriguing commercial-vehicle lighting supplier in Brazil have a spectacular new truck taillight with innovative laser-engraved TIR optics; we’ve got pictures and descriptions. In the States, the SAE Lighting Systems Group are working on standards for vehicle-based road projections, and gearing up to nominate a participant in NHTSA’s FMVSS 108 modernization committee. And we’ve got a teaser of Jeep’s nifty implementation of modern technology with a classy nod to familial retro styling from Jeeps of yesteryear.
We’re glad you’re with us!
All the best,
DVN Chief Editor
