Audi: Cars With Frickin’ Laser Beams

I couldn’t help myself:

At CES, Audi introduced a laser-beam powered headlight concept that will have you forgetting you ever wanted those Xenon ones. The Laserlight concept, which was being shown on their Sport Quatto, uses LEDs for the low beams and then switches to laser diodes for the high beams. Although no specific timeframe was quoted, Audi’s expecting that these will be used on a future production vehicle. We’re pretty excited, especially since these apparently they are able to light the road for up to 1/3 mile and are three times brighter than LED headlights. Plus, lasers.
