Huawei showed off the newest version of its headlight tech, XPixel, at the Huawei Qiankun Technology Conference at the Beijing Auto Show last week. The headlights now have the ability to project a full range of colors like a giant movie projector mounted to the front of the car. That means the ability to park your car and use the nearest wall to watch your favorite show or movie like it's some sort of personal drive-in movie theater.

The actual XPixel tech that Huawei is using to underpin the new full-color projection feature has been around for about three years now. Vehicles like the Huawei Stelato S9 already use it, and what's particularly cool is how the tech is neatly tied into the car's driver assistance features— meaning that it can help to assist with lane changing by showing a guided path, or even direct pedestrians when to cross in front of the car. It's can also project interactive games for kids (like hopscotch).

    You mean like in the 80s when everybody who was anybody aspired to own their very own video wall so they could watch lots of different channels simultaneously, or one chopped up by loads of bezels?

    Sounds like fitting comparison. I wouldn't know that much, i was still very young in the 80's. I was happy with 1 tv and a Commodore 128 to draw smiling frog and play Pitstop on.
