Most people don’t turn on their car’s headlights and think, I wish they were brighter. Shuji Nakamura is not most people.
The Nobel Prize-winning illumination scientist has spent the past five years developing a laser-based lighting system.

And unlike a regular, dumb headlight, the laser can potentially be integrated into current and forthcoming driver-assistance systems.
