There’s a new piece of automotive technology on the horizon — laser headlights. Here’s what they are, how they work, and why they might not be so great.
The laser headlight is a bright new technology which is being adopted by numerous automakers, such as Audi and BMW, who are looking to get a step ahead of the game when it comes to illuminating the road ahead. While there are frustrations and disadvantages to the tech, laser headlights do serve to benefit motorists in numerous ways. The obvious upside is that they’re incredibly bright and can shine up to six times further than typical LED low beams. In today’s age of 1,000-horsepower cars and heavily congested roads, improving the average driver’s vision sounds like a huge overall plus.
The way they work is fairly simple.
