I understand your comment as the details of the usefulness are buried pretty deep. I had to dig down to the 2nd half of sentence #2 to get the answer: "while minimizing the glare to oncoming traffic or reflections from retroreflective traffic signs."

>reflections from retroreflective traffic signs. So you mask out the stop sign in front of you, and that diminishes the visibility of the sign. Or the light masks the stop sign and lowers the intensity of light within that octagon? Then you have a camera from the perspective of each headlight, then what? You flood the scene with IR light? I guess it could work - It will require a lot of supporting technologies that TI is probably not in the position to develop.

  > TI is probably not in the position to develop. Once again, they've buried the details way deep down in this article, nearly impossible to find. In this outlandish case, I had to reach as far down as the 1st half of the second sentence which subtly discloses (emphasis mine): "Automakers and Tier-1 suppliers can use this new programmable ADB solution to design headlight systems"

  Redisplay the stop sign in the (TI DLP) HUD. Outline pedestrians, similarly. Give me a distance, stopping reaction countdown, and alert me to children doubly so lest they suddenly break from adults. I would think that indication that pedestrians are facing towards or back to traffic is important for me to get quickly as well. This kind of information would greatly reduce my fatigue when driving long journeys through England's west country and any area with narrow twisting, often tree covered, roads.
