Some neat ideas from Ford's research department, though I don't know how effective these systems are. I can't tell if something like this is more gimmicky than helpful. The spot light, for example, was hard to see on video.

Regardless, I do wish that legislation on these systems would generally move a little faster... But I suppose that it's only a matter of time.
Does anybody ever get the impression that for all the funding and effort that goes into these kinds of research projects, there could easily have been a fairly large safety benefit through just making good headlights up front through conventional technology (See: not trying so skimp a few bucks through bargain spec equipment)?
Not saying that research is unimportant by any means.
