EDITORIAL: All the ways: Learning via print in a digital era

Welcome, once again, to our annual digital-only issue. We remain committed, of course, to our eight print issues each year, but letting the benefits of digital media come to the fore is always its own fun challenge. No matter what your role is, you should find something engaging and educational among these virtual pages.

We've got videos, animations and other multimedia components for you to click on and learn from in this issue. My personal favorite example in here of a video replacing a thousand words can be found in our cover story. It's not like the text is indecipherable, but simply seeing how adaptive headlight beams adjust where they throw their high beams so as to not blind other drivers in almost all situations is just cool. Headlight technology has come a long, long way in the last decade, from the low lights of old helping clear a path home to today's often-annoying high beams that may provide extra safety to the driver, but make the blood of oncoming drivers run dry.
