It uses Osram LD's 4 of them to pump phosphor.

As an avid car person, the i8's and Audi's laser headlights are not legal in the USA because the feds are worried in the event of a collision, the optics may become misaligned and permit high intensity laser radiation to escape the headlight enclosure. Lame
But yes, the technology has been tossed around in various car articles for a few years now. It's kinda cool, but still way inferior to HID's in actually seeing the road imo
I believe they are illegal here in WA. The truck ones for sure.
I wonder what those headlights look like to oncoming traffic. If it throws that much further, it is probably blinding in high beam setting.
That's a shame as I have often had to turn my high beams on to get some idiot in oncoming traffic to turns his off. Many won't even respond to a quick flash of the high beams, but always do when I turn mine on and leave them on until they turn their's off.
I guess we could start a thread on pet peeves about driving. I also hate it when people don't use their turn signals while I am waiting to turn, only to find, if they had, I could have turned several minutes earlier. When someone has their brights on behind you, what you did is the only recourse, as far as I know.
