Reading the article and looking at SLD Laser's website leads you to believe that they are shooting lasers out the front of the emitter. They also both implicate the BMW 5 series. BMW demoed a laser headlight system to Jalopnik and it doesn't work that way at all. The lasers are fired into a phosphorous element to excite it into emitting light which is then reflected down field. The advantages of this over LED and other tech is that it uses less power and produces less heat. https://jalopnik.com/how-bmws-new-laser-headlights-will-work-and-not-kill-y-1521586271 https://jalopnik.com/how-bmws-new-laser-headlights-will-work...
