Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
Ajen@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoOf 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.

That’s not quite right. Projectors make headlights less blinding. It would be worse if we still used basic reflectors. Also, not all vehicles use expensive LED headlights.
Back to your original argument: you aren’t saying you think an IR HUD would be less complicated than a cheap halogen bulb in a projector, are you? Because that would be rediculous.
