Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Advanced LED (light Emitting Diode), display, and augmented reality technologies are enhancing the driving experience and increasing safety. At the same time, they present new challenges to automakers and suppliers, who must quickly learn and adapt them for in-car use, while ensuring they meet customers’ high quality expectations. The aim of the course is to provide the students the basic knowledge needed to understand operation principles and relevant parameters, to design and manage issues related to use of LED and laser technology, illumination of multiple dashboard instruments, control and head-up displays and intelligent adaptive lighting.
