DarkSky One supercar lurks in the dark like a ninja with its sensible lighting - Yanko Design

"This is DarkSky International's take on a supercar that is designed with "darkness at the center of its vision." Marking its debut at the Detroit Auto Show, the DarkSky One is the first-ever car that's designed for "nighttime first." This reminds me of While Bane's words in The Dark Knight Rises, "You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it." Unlike other supercars that are focused on performance and looks, this one is inspired by the lack of light."

"Maker wants to minimize light pollution with such automobiles, rather than going the conventional way of having brighter headlights shining high beam at oncoming traffic. That too, without even mentioning the auxiliary options to light up cars, making them shine out among other vehicles. According to them, the artificial light ruins the night, and the darkness helps drivers see better. It is equipped with LiDAR units that analyze the environment to adjust the headlight beam and direction to have a ninja-like road presence."

Nighttime evokes distinct emotions and the DarkSky One is designed with darkness at the center of its vision. The car debuted at the Detroit Auto Show and represents a nighttime-first approach to supercar design. The exterior uses a matte-black skin to preserve ambient darkness and to minimize light pollution. LiDAR units analyze the environment to adjust headlight beam direction and intensity. All Beam Adaptive Driving Lights toggle brightness levels based on road conditions and the relative distance to other motorists to reduce glare. Additional side lighting on doors, hood, and panels provides presence without overpowering natural ambient light.
