Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) is supplying auto-dimming mirrors with the Company's own SmartBeam lighting assist system, as well as auto-dimming mirrors with a camera-based driver-assist system for both the new 2013 Lincoln MKS full-size premium sedan and 2013 Lincoln MKT three-row premium crossover.
Gentex's SmartBeam feature uses a relatively low-resolution camera to automatically turn a vehicle's high beams on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. The Gentex driver-assist system uses a high-resolution, multi-function camera combined with algorithmic decision-making to perform Automatic High-Beam Control, Lane Keeping and Driver Alert. The system was developed in conjunction with Mobileye, the global pioneer in the development of vision-based driver-assistance systems. In Lane Keeping mode, the driver is warned by vibrating the steering wheel, while the Lane Keeping function warns the driver by applying torque at the steering wheel to direct the vehicle back into the lane. Driver Alert monitors the vehicle's lane position and can notify a driver of signs of inattentiveness with a coffee cup warning light that appears on the dashboard instrument cluster. Certain components, including the camera and microprocessor, are integrated into a Gentex interior auto-dimming mirror.
