    Too distracting to the driver behind, and hence dangerous IMHO.

    That looks too damn cool.... but in that current state, I would bet DOT would NEVER approve it for use here in the US.

    Interesting but stupid. Something I'd expect from a Japanese carmaker (show car) not German. Reminds me of a Vegas billboard. IMO ... really really bad idea.

    any new innovation will fight through oppositions, but with limitless design and possibilities, the lights can use a "street" mode which has no animations but just standard light look and "show" mode for animations/designs. Give them a ticket for having the animations on the street, like no front license plate or tint too dark etc (I'm sure Audizine elite members abide by all traffic laws and regulations regarding modifications, Db for exhausts, tint, front license plate etc.)

    Most new technology can be "dumb-ed" down to old technology for those that has troubles moving forward with time. Once it becomes the norm, they all shut-up and conform eventually.

    I sort of do like it, makes the car seem alive but in the real world it's a no go people would be distracted by it all.

    Generally agree with this statement. Not this "technology" though. Some things just never take hold.

    You guys realize this is from years ago, right? I doubt it will ever happen on a production car, I can't see a benefit at all...besides to screw with the guy behind you tripping balls.
