Motor Mouth: Lasers will light up the automotive universe

Well, these are special lights. In fact, they’re not really lights — as we know them, at least — but lasers. Rudy, now being the chief marketing officer at SLD, is trying to convince automakers not only can lasers emit more light — up to 350 per cent more than LED headlights — but SLD’s lasers can act as range-finders, and get this, transfer data from car-to-car. Yes, you’re reading that right; SLD says its lasers can double as both radar and Wi-Fi — actually, in this case, it’s called Li-Fi.
