Automatic Headlight Dimmer-Bikes
Project DescriptionThe Automatic Headlight Dimmer automatically dips the headlight upon sensing an oncoming vehicle during night-time driving and switches back to a high beam after the vehicle has passed. This is very useful in reducing accidents since very bright headlights can affect the vision of drivers. MentorsDr. E. Siva Sankari, Prof. A.
