I'm pretty sure that demonstration fails most of laser safety standards. That thing can burn a retina instantly if a reflective object is accidentally put in front. After it's diffused it's perfectly safe but that guy has access directly to the laser beam.. even shows burning objects.
This is all nice, and sounds cool. However if you do the basic science, the phosphor never can emit as intense light as a HID or plain Halogen based system. This is only good for day time running lights, or those Angel eyes that BMW is known for and not night time street lighting. Laser Diodes have 300-1000 hours of life. And knowing BMW they will change possibly 5K for replacement. No Thank you. I'll stick with LEDs or HIDs
I'm not against technology revolution, but as I know the laser used to let phosphor emits light as much as intensity should be very powerful, so what will happen if mirrors tilted due to road bumps & little impacts (don't tell me mirrors are firmly fixed that even a less than half of millimeter tilt will not happen !), we will have a very powerful beam of laser that hits any part else rather than the phosphor block & may start a fire !! may the laser beam hit outer objects & cause harmful effects !! Laser consumes more electricity & generates more heat energy that must be dissipated !! I think LED headlights are sufficient for good road illuminating at dark night..
Take your audi lights and live with it.... this is just a mere concept generation of what bmw researchers are capable of coming up with ... unlike audi ..copy copy copy .... and truth be told ... the laser setup is pretty mubrighter compared ordinary xenon kits
Now, when my headlights are misaligned i can literally burn the retina of incoming drivers,so cool! Also observe how the laser literally burns objects at 0:30 but no safety measures are taken whatsoever, impressive!
Absolutely. Systems are great when new* but considerations need to be made when systems are older and owners do not replace them when they may go faulty. Eg F50 Mini where the self levelling Led headlights do not respond or drop when driving uphill potentially blinding oncoming traffic. Every/most automatic systems should have manual override. ABS should also be a system that a driver should be able to turn off.
By my estimates of burning power, that is a class 3b laser, and a moment of intrabeam exposure will cause permanent vision loss. No goggles. Then they talk about laser safety. Sigh.
@@mjames978 Give me one situation where disabling ABS would be beneficial. Then explain to all of those misinformed people that ABS does not increase braking distance and actually makes it shorter.
can someone please tell me why on earth they always seem to get people that have the most heaviest freaking accents to explain shit? What is wrong with getting someone who uses English as their primary language as well as someone who was does NOT come from fucking INDIA ???? Jesus Christ you would think that those who put this shit together have had to call a one of those fucking help lines before and had to try to deal with these people before in their life!
I do actually dumbass. Why do you feel the need to approach my question with such a rude attitude? People like you really make the internet a terrible place. I find that LED headlights which I drive with are sufficient enough. That's why I commented on the video. No one wants to see your smartass comments.
Michael Klein when halogen headlights came out people probably thought they were sufficient enough, then xenon and people thought those where sufficient enough, then LED headlights and people think these are sufficient enough. just like how people thought a black and white tv was the greatest thing since sliced bread, as technology advances its hard to justify old technology
First of all, LED headlights could be much smaller than that and the amount of light that it seemed to put out was very small. Not only a very narrow cone but a very small total amount. This looks like a complete douche bag gimmick.
Quick googling suggests that this laser gimmick is no more than 30lm/W efficient whereas Cree white LEDs can be 160lm/W efficient. It's complete marketing BS, courtesy of BMW douches.
BMW is one company among only a very few, exclusive others, who, all of which have come to define a business model - spend lots of money creating products that will require unfathomably expensive maintenance, repairs, and replacements available from only themselves. Masters of creating guaranteed compounding returns. Even crazier is that we know it and continue to perpetuate it. And now we've begun encouraging BMW to partner with the other sirens, like Apple, to give us convenience and momentary happiness in exchange for sovereign global control. We are the disease this Earth is plagued by. And in spite of everything I've already said, I still love my E36. I cannot wait for the first RUclips DIY to surface on "How to upgrade your i8 headlights to Class IV infrared beams." BMW might be guilty of just creating the ultimate weapon against speed traps - turn on your invisible 3W laser headlights and you'll be able to permanently blind an officer in broad daylight! All for less than $2,000 in materials. The i8 will come to define sports cars for the next tens years; plastic body panels injected with a specially formulated carbon-fiber resin? Shit the bed bro!
BMW is not the only company that make exclusive parts, almost all the others companies do the same. this is all marting. they want to control the market, not the world. you say that we are the disease because of what? of the global warming? the lasers don't make the car invisible. unfortunately everyone can see the lasers and this is why is danger for the eyes. for the same light power, the laser do more damage than the led. indeed the led is safe. this power of lasers can blind. almost all the fiber carbon components are made by fiber carbon and resin, but the resin can be replaced by a special plastic. take the example of the plastic peek + fiber carbon.
this is so stupid...just a marketing stunt. Look at how much room is needed to accommodate the headlight assembly. LED uses a fraction of the space. That's why you see LED backlit displays and not laser backlit displays. LED headlights are here and are the true future of lighting. I love my Audi's led headlights, btw:)
I drive a new Audi every 3 years. You can't afford anything with the latest technology so go back in your OLD 1993 3 series piece of trash with retrofitted angel eyes and blue tinted halogens, LOL.

Filmed with a potato
BMW always been so much ahead in design, technology, performance compared to other companies..
I’m replying to this comment to see if you channel still exists or not. Just say something in return
"Can you turn off the lights, Osman? *giggles* Thank you." xD
How much to replace one if these? An arm. Ok let me just burn it off with the other working headlight
2022 My BMW i4 has this laser light technology, amazing!
Amazing Stuff and very impressive!
Wow class IIIb lasers and no eye protection. Fascinating. A fleeting moment of intrabeam exposure is instant blindness.
I'm pretty sure that demonstration fails most of laser safety standards. That thing can burn a retina instantly if a reflective object is accidentally put in front. After it's diffused it's perfectly safe but that guy has access directly to the laser beam.. even shows burning objects.
Yep there are very dumb people in BMW...
I want BMW's with freakin lasers attached to their freakin heads!
Horrible video and audio recording.....but sounds quite self-explanatory.
красота!
awesome!!
whats the power of the laser? and where can i buy one?
Focusing focusing focusing!
BMW is the best at Pioneering
Что то плохо они на дорогу светят....
i totally agree
BMW > All

Then tell me why the new toyota supra is going to have lazer headlights and why there are so many videos SHOWING how much better they are than HIDs
isaac troop I'll tell you if you buy one first.
@@JaroslawFiliochowski
Funny how many fake ass experts there are around subjects they know nothing about.
Lol basic science from basic individuals who doesn't know anything
@@aaronsmith7143 Funny how several years later there are still people who don't realize the bullshit going on in this video.
To think technology is already this far...
fascinating!
camera completely out of focus when recording the light effect afar, why no auto focus???

watch someone will turn this into deadly weapon.
Needs more phosphorous

HID BEST AND WITH COLOR LOVE IT. PPL WHY NOT UPGRADE THE COMMUTE LIGHTS WITH HID A BRIGHTER WORLD SUCH AS HIGHWAY INTERSTATE AND PUBLIC STREETS
think at least a little: how long your lamp lasts and costs; who will pay for that 24/365?
How many lumens/watt versus LED?
Wow, what a shit camera.
what a shit cameraman that doesn't know how his camera works
HIGH technology filmed with a fuckin toaster. SERIOUSLY?
Sucks these were not allowed in the US
Horrifyingly bad video, but still better than the lame BMW video (that has no actual details.)
I'm fine with my h4s...
This was a very amateur video and makes me question the quality of the "laser" headlight being as they couldn't even make a decent video about it.
This is not a BMW video, what made you think it was? It it just someone with a video camera, you can search for the official video
I can't understand wtf he is saying
Wtf video quality
Non si capisce nulla!..
good luck changing your own light on this 1

Are these for blowing up the Audi's who won't move over for the superior BMW?
;-)
Too weak light intensity;
I want my lasers to melt the car in front of me :) Love bmw technology hehhe.
Lol why are these necessary?
efficient bright light source from within smaller space than LED! basically, light bulbs are still getting smaller and brighter.
I guess you haven't own a car, or even have a chance to drive one while it's dark.
