Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?

I’m still not sure we’re in agreement, but maybe we are? I’m saying the US auto market has never had enough influence to block a cost-effective safety feature from appearing on foreign markets. Another person pointed out that the IR HUD was used on a luxury car and the high cost probably prevented its widespread use.

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.
