LASER HEADLIGHTS! OMGWTFBBQ!

I'm gonna need some new car insurance to combat pedestrians suing me for cutting them in half. Hey, but maybe now they will gtfo of the road...

Apparently BMW is now working on lasers for headlights, which will be good for roasting some mallows for s'mores when you don't have a campfire.

Jalopnik Explains:
"A new report from Munich reveals that, while Audi was busy trying to shove 300 LEDs into the snout of an A7, BMW's been working on the real future: laser headlights. My cat is going to flip out.
Lasers offer myriad improvements over the stock LED bulbs being used in modern luxury cars: they use less energy, they're brighter, smaller and can be directed at a smaller area.
Being brighter (170 lumens compared to about 100 lumens for LED) and more efficient is an obvious advantage, and being smaller means designers can go insane and create thoseimpossibly thin lights we see on concepts but never see in real life, although BMW denies this is their main purpose.
Most intriguingly is the possibility for a laser-like spotlight to highlight certain obstacles. A laser headlight can, theoretically, send an almost perfect parallel beam of light that's 1,000 times brighter than a conventional LED. Here's how BMW explains it'll work with their "Dynamic Light Spot" system:"

This will be awesome when eventually, and you know it WILL happen, someone turns up the intensity of the beam, replace the diode on the high beam, creating a DEATH RAY! All I need now is a lightsaber...
