Back in the early 2000s, xenon headlamps were the best you could wish for but today, everyone is using LEDs and some are even one step further, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2015\/11\/19\/bmw-i8-with-la5-la-auto-show\/\">Laser Light<\/a>. And even though the first version of these new laser headlights were pretty basic, over the last few years this too advanced quite a lot.\u00a0However, while the first version of laser headlights could only switch between high and low beams, the most recent ones can also adapt to the traffic situation. They create a cone around the cars in front of you, be that on you side on the oncoming traffic side, simply lighting up everything on the road, around the cars. It\u2019s quite spectacular to watch in action. And, so far, U.S. customers have been deprived of such features. It\u2019s not because of BMW though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-366527\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW Laser light detail on G07 X7 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW Laser light detail on G07 X7 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-366527\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW Laser light detail on G07 X7 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BMW-Laser-light-detail-on-G07-X7.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW Laser light detail on G07 X7 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because of the law, believe it or not. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2016\/10\/13\/2017-bmw-5-series-will-adaptive-led-headlights-standard-us\/\">Adaptive headlights<\/a> have been illegal in the US up until this year because of outdated laws. That\u2019s all about to change, thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (HR 3684), better known as the Infrastructure Bill. Under section 24212 of the bill, which is appropriately titled \u201cHEADLAMPS,\u201d it\u2019s stated that \u201cNot later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue a final rule amending Standard 108\u2033\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/CFR-2004-title49-vol5\/xml\/CFR-2004-title49-vol5-sec571-108.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that\u2019s the transportation regulation<\/a> pertaining to headlight design.<\/p>\n<p>To be more precise, the bill states that this section of the code should be amended \u201cto allow for the use on vehicles of adaptive driving beam headlamp systems.\u201d Therefore, once this bill gets passed, the transportation secretary has a maximum of two years at his\/her disposal to make adaptive headlights legal in the United States. That also means that we could see this become reality sooner than that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlight technology has come a long way in the last 20 years.
