A supercar designed in the US specifically for driving at night (5 photos)
The startup DarkSky unveiled its first supercar at the Detroit Auto Show. According to CarBuzz, its engineers focused on an unexpected aspect of its development—driving at night—and the DarkSky One incorporates a range of technologies to improve visibility. The project's production potential is still unknown, although the startup's management has already proposed revising national automotive lighting standards. 
With its concept, the DarkSky project seeks to draw attention to the idea of improving visibility not by enhancing the light beam, but by optimizing it. For example, the One supercar is equipped with innovative headlights that can not only illuminate corners but also actively adapt to road conditions. For example, switching from high to low beams occurs smoothly, rather than stepwise, as oncoming objects approach, while the beam range is adjusted automatically.
The DarkSky One's body is equipped with LED inserts that facilitate orientation in the space beyond the headlights, and the car itself is painted with a special matte paint that absorbs scattered radiation. This is done to minimize glare and light pollution. The concept's design is also carefully considered, right down to the angle of the anti-reflective glass. Overall, this complex of solutions is designed to help the human eye adapt to the dark.
DarkSky engineers stated that US national standards need to be revised to improve visibility—for example, by increasing the use of adaptive optics and banning the use of cool-toned lights. The startup believes that new road construction standards should incorporate measures to reduce light pollution. The prospects for the mass production of DarkSky One remain uncertain.
