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).

    possibly from the inside while idling the engine so you can watch your favorite movie while giving yourself carbon monoxide poisioning...

    Only if you drive one of the old, obsolete, last century fossil burners. You can heat the inside of your garage with a modern car's heater. Monoxide is SO last century... and expensive as hell with that maniac in the White House.

    I don't think the Chinese even make those old things any more. America is really behind the times with everything. Shameful, we used to be #1 with everything, now we can't break the top ten list in anything except guns.

    >and expensive as hell with that maniac in the White House.

    I agree, orange puddin' and his whole crew need to be evicted. However, in the greater scheme of things, we were hovering around about $3 before the recent foolishness, an inflation to $5 isn't even a doubling. Bushy Jr. took us from $1.50 per gallon up to $4 with his little adventures - that would be like $8 today, almost what they pay in France...

    >now we can't break the top ten list in anything except guns.

      Under Bush it went from $1.05 when Shrub took office to $5.50 here in Springfield. I heard it was $7 in California. It's $4.99 here, now. And it will keep going up until the strait is opened.

      Under Nixon, it was 25-30¢ when I went to Thailand in the USAF in 1973 and 75¢ wen I got back a year later (on the day he resigned). I expect it to hit at least $6, maybe by the election. Glad I have an EV, but those diesel prices...
