The evolution of lighting technology plays a crucial role in ADAS systems. Advanced driving beam technology, such as pixel lighting, uses sensors to adapt headlights, preventing glare for other road users while optimizing driver visibility. Beyond aiding drivers, these innovations support systems transitioning toward higher levels of automation by addressing the need for accurate environmental perception. Simulation enables highly realistic testing across diverse scenarios without extensive prototypes, playing a vital role in overcoming challenges like robustness and adaptability in advanced lighting system development. This presentation will discuss these challenges and show how physics-based rendering ensures these systems meet ADAS and autonomy standards.
