(…says Daniel Stern, a Vancouver-based automotive lighting expert who sits on several technical standards development boards in North America and worldwide…)
I didn't know that there was such advanced technology available now. It looks great and I certainly wish some of the cars on the road driven by sloppy drivers had them.
Interesting article. I was thinking of something like this for sirens. They seem to be the same loudness regardless of environment. I was thinking that maybe they could have microphones to sense the surrounding ambient sound level and then set the siren level above it. That would change with environment

Yep, Germany's bike lighting regs are enviable in their existence. That said, good bike lights aren't prohibited in North America, they're just not mandatory. If I had the spare funds to buy one of these, I'd go riding at night just to use it.
What's nice about the B&M (and a few others) is that their reflectors shine the beam down on the road and not in the eyes of opposing drivers/riders/walkers. Very nice
