Our idea is simply about improving the safety of drivers on the road while driving at night. Drivers driving at night are constantly blinded by the headlights of oncoming vehicles. So we came up with an idea: why don’t we have a sensor built in to the headlight. This sensor will designed to control the intensity of the oncoming make the headlight of vehicles coming towards each other automatically dim as the two lights come in contact and as the two lights are no more in contact the headlights will restore back to normal. Here is a demonstration of how it works.

Therefore, if cars are on the street with their headlights turned on, cars will have their headlights peeking into on coming drivers as shown in the left hand side of the picture above. But if the headlight is having the sensor we are proposing the streets will be more appealing for drivers as shown in the right hand side of the picture.
