What are laser headlights in cars?

Some car manufacturers have begun to use lasers in headlights as a long-range light source. The laser ignites the phosphor contained in the bulb, which produces a very bright, precisely controllable light.

The purpose of laser lights is to improve light range and reduce energy consumption in certain situations compared to traditional LED solutions.

So far, laser lights are mainly available as an option in more expensive car models. The technology may become more widespread, but more advanced LED systems are strong competitors due to their price and versatility.
