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

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.
