Some European cars are sold with laser head lights as an optional extra. As a driver meeting usch a vehicle I ponder if that is safe for my eyesight? After recent scandals I don’t fully trust the car industry to self regulate as they have mislead consumers before for example Dieselgate. Thus I think it’s good that there is car safety regulations but that led lights probably should be allowed. I think too many consumer decisions are made on the basis of ego what is good for me/self as a consumer and not necessarily what is good for others.

- rootusrootus 6y agoThey don't use white lasers. They use blue lasers, which are focused by mirrors on a yellow phosphor lens to make white light.
- drglitch 6y agoThe laserlights, like ones marketed by BMW, are not shining the laser outward into the world - they use them to warm up phosphor which in turn produces “regular” light. In a sense, it’s somewhat akin to an old school incandescent bulb, but using much less energy. In US, laserlights are reduced power due to regulations
