I know I’m not the only one who feels like I’m getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?
It did appear, but never went main stream. The cost was high, but like projector bulbs if mainstream produced the cost would come down.
Of course the cost would come down (slightly) if a new tech goes mainstream, but you don’t think an IR HUD could become as cheap as regular headlights, do you?
I do, they are not really much different from what is put in cars today. HUD? We put screens on everything, IR? its just a bulb type. IR cameras? Its a camera.
There’s a lot more that goes into to than you think. A camera and HUD will never be as cheap as a bulb and a reflector.
There is alot more that goes into those projector and LED headlights then you think then. They have not been a bulb and reflector only in 30 years or so. If they where still just a bulb and reflector we would not all be talking about having to face the fucking sun itself everytime we drive at night.
