Car manufacturers and auto shops will love this. Instead of changing a light fixture they’ll have to replace entire panels. That’s more money for them.🤷🏿♂️ Cool idea but very impractical and not consumer friendly in my opinion

Safety trumps tech. Would I really want some idiot who blacks out his taillights so that you need to be less than 10 feet away to see them when they’re lit at night to customize the lighting on his car? Probably not.

In my opinion I did not really see a strong argument for the new light setup but is it for people who do not change the bulbs and their light assembly or using their turn blinker? Then this technology will make bad drivers more predictable LOL because other than that I don’t see much benefit to it.

July 2, 2022 at 8:32 pm
Especially in regard to reducing road rage thru courteous communication, I think we badly need a standardized messaging system for motor vehicles that allows the driver to indicate his or her intentions when maybe a turn signal isn’t quite enough – and to say Thank You and maybe two or three more polite and approved messages.

Freddie the Fly
July 3, 2022 at 6:04 am
Nahhhh, in the Tucson the lights are in the grille so when they are off you really can’t see them, but they are standard lights, not part of body panels.

So now when the new lights stop working you get to pay to have a body panel changed out. What a deal.

I always thought it’d be great to have some sort of lighting system that talked smack to bad drivers. “Nice merge, jerk!” and things like that.

My father who was an auto mechanic for 30+ years and myself used to talk about this subject. Cars have been basically the same with superficial “improvements”. Until a car can actually levitate and defy gravity; then we are talking. All the stuff about lighting and looks about a car keeps being mostly BS. The car is still dependent on the wheel, and you can’t re-invent the wheel; until you get rid of the wheel and make the car fly.

I don’t like the potential for the lights to have distracting messages or even images, obscene or whatever else.

“Tailgating Preventative Lighting” is required now. Try violet as a color. Readable easily by driver and automated systems. Safe distance = no appearance. Modulated drama as tailgating begins. A true light show as unstoppable distances develop.

There’s a somewhat novel solution for many drivers, that does away with the lighting issue, and it’s currently available: the pair of legs that most of you have, and then bicycles and mass transit.

Bicycles and mass transit use lights as well.

It’s like with leds you have to replace the whole light module, now you’ll just need a new trunk and body panel. It is cool though.

As long as all manufacturers use separate lighting elements for the running light, brake and indicator lights and that the indicator lights are amber I’ll be happy. Most manufacturers in North America can’t even get that right yet and the European brands change their tailllights for the worse and sometimes unnecessarily, for North America. Once they demonstrate they know how to make a basic taillight then we can let them loose on a blank canvas.
