Your teeth aren’t that strong, they just can’t.
Those scenes in the movies – all nonsense.
Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Not being dramatic. These laser headlights literally exist.
See – sticker proof.
It’s an all-new technology from Audi, making them 1st automaker to offer laser lights in production cars.
It will debut on the 2017 Audi R8.
There are 2 lasers installed into the headlight for use when the high-beams are engaged.
These 2 lasers replace the 37 LEDs found in the 2015 models.
The lasers emit a blue colour which is converted into a pure, white light that mimics daylight. And because a laser light is both brighter and more concentrated, it reduces driver fatigue and makes it easier to recognize contrast.
Best of all though, a laser high‑beam achieves twice the lighting range of an LED one.
It can be fine-tuned better than an LED. So the 2017 R8’s camera‑based sensor system will detect an oncoming vehicle, then actively adjust the light pattern to exclude it from the high-beam’s glare.
In the photo below, top is the light at the end of a track day, in the bright sun with my iPhone. Below is the press photo. Pretty eh.
The headlights on the 2017 American model will be the same LCDs as the outgoing one.
So US buyers – the cost of importing our model might be worth it, if only so you can say, “hi hi, my car has lasers.”
