Audi Q7/Q8: Laser Light with HD matrix LED + Night Vision. Review & Real-Life Test :: [1001cars]

HD Matrix LED headlights with the Audi laser light are available for Audi Q7 and Audi Q8 2023/2024. They work with 24 LEDs and a high-power laser diode each and are immediately recognizable via a blue ambient light incorporated into the headlights that symbolizes the precision of laser technology. The laser light becomes active above 70 km/h (43.5 mph) and significantly increases the high beam range (up to 600 meters). This system can be completed with Audi Night Vision which recognizes pedestrians, animals and alerts the driver about potential risk during the driving. see how laser lights with HD Matrix LED high beam works in Audi Q7, Audi Q8, Audi A8, Audi A7 in real-life conditions.

first video which properly shows functioning of laser lights! Very nice video.

[@nicolashostein7854]

I already used this technology on my Audi. This is amazing !!

[@grzegorzlaskowski4986]

Świetne ujęcia i dobrze pokazane funkcje w każdych okolicznościach. Materiał jedyny w swoim rodzaju, a światła Audi HD Matrix LED to najwyższa półka - doceni je każdy dla kogo ważne jest bezpieczeństwo.

[@agniveshizm]

Insane! Great demo! I wish they would turn off the laser automatically for the sweeping turns. For example at 2:34, the trees straight ahead are too bright. Turning off the laser at this point would improve contrast to the left where the road is going.

[@viccao8431]

Good point that’s often not thought of. Light uniformity and how are eyes adjust to light is very important and we can’t just throw the brightest lights on cars and expect it to be the safest

[@lm0026]

Great choice of music too

[@clasis]

Hi Tomasz, thanks for great videos like this and other security focused videos that no other “youtuber(!)” could mention or even understand the difference on these tech details. If possible, it’ll also be interesting to see Toyota C-HR matrix adaptive led (not auto high beam) video as well. They used the same blade technology with Lexus RX 5years ago that, until Audi’s lazer came up, was the first runner of high speed(400rpm) led lighting as well as adaptive lighting with 24 leds. Not sure if it can reach as far as Audi lazer but interms of area coverage and speed to light adaptation might be either close or might be even better (again, 5years old tech :) ). A performance comparison would be very interesting to see. Thanks again and wish you a great day

[@1001cars]

Thank you for your comment :) I will try to make this test, if the C-HR which I am going to test has it.

[@ADRozaa]

Technologia robi wrażenie, choć parę razy oberwałem takim matrixem, ponieważ zwłoka w wygaszaniu segmentu delikatnie się opóźniła 😎

[@darkubarku]

Lampa samochodowa. Jeszcze do niedawna, kawałek blachy, żarówka i klosz. Dziś to wyrafinowane, skomplikowane urządzenie, sterowane przez komputer a dzięki czujnikom, niemal świadome. Swoją drogą, jeśli kamera tak to widzi to na żywo musi dopiero robić wrażenie. Świetnie zrealizowany film z klimatem i świetnie dobraną muzyką.

[@Spyker8921]

Insane

[@TecSolemio]

Bardzo fajny test. Ciągle śledze postęp w oświetleniu i po regresie technologicznym grupy VW z okresu 2018-2021 teraz ewidentnie coś poprawili w działaniu świateł. Hella opracował całą generacje nowych ledów dla grupy VW, zaczynając od HD matrixów dla Touarega i Cayenne. Chyba ciągle jeden poziom niżej niż digital light z Mercedesa, ale już nie ma tak dużej różnicy. Ciekawe jak na ich tle wypadłyby nowe światła w BMW (nowa 7-ka lub 5-ka), bo BMW w przeciwieństwie do Audi czy MB zupełnie nie chwali się technologiami tych świateł. Kiedyś BMW miało lasery, teraz to są po prostu adaptacyjne światła matrycowe, w 7 nie da się wybrać żadnej opcji poza kryształkami które pełnią funkcję ozdobną.

[@marooonio]

Mi się wydaje, że te światła z Audi zawsze świeciły i działały! trochę lepiej niż te w MB - chodzi mi głównie o zasięg świecenia i płynność działania/wycinania obiektów. Co do BMW to faktycznie one mnie najczęściej raziły po oczach z marek premium, podobnie w sumie jak VW i Skoda.

[@TecSolemio]

@@marooonio polecam testy @motoreport_ chyba najlepsze testy świateł na YT i te digital lighty w s klasie najmniej oślepiały i najszybciej reagowały jak dotychczas ze wszystkich testów

Can you make a video like this but for the Audi E-Tron

[@1001cars]

Do you mean Audi e-tron before facelift as "Q8 e-tron"?

[@fajarriz_]

Is it the best laser light technology on a car right now? How 'bout BMW & Mercedes technology? I really enjoy this vid actually so would u compare?

[@1001cars]

We cannot compare only laser lights excluding matrix LED's. I tested laser light from BMW 7 Series years ago and it worked very good for that time. I do not know how it works in the newest models. I have never tested laser lights from Mercedes-Benz, only matrix lights from this brand.

[@Vuxchen]

Very sad that the laser light leaves almost all new cars since its a hassle with different regulation in all the countries :C Laser lights are such a cool tech. I especially like them in bmws. Could you get a g30 5 series? The g30 has a hybrid system with both matrix and laser light :) Would be cool to see with the level of detail you showed the q7 light.

[@iceManSwag]

02:49 you can still see two people sitting in the car their faces a lit due to the all the other light reflecting all around although they are cut out by the system. Im not sure they where all too happy to meet this Audi coming their way.

[@jureczekja3174]

Compare with 01:26 where high beam was not active you "will see" these two faces too...

[@oreos0000]

This laser light activates way too fast I never saw any light system works this fast before

[@H2SO4H20]

In the mean time, there already quite a large number of models with this technology available in the U.S. although most are above average in cost and and require expert level re-coding using special electronic tools to enable full functionality. I had the OEM LED-matrix headlights on a U.S. market car re-coded last summer so that they operate as shown in this video.

[@figjam5181]

I wonder the cost is to replace these complex lighting systems for very minimal gains. If you drive to your conditions I can't even see the true benefit of these lighting systems over traditional LED headlights. I feel cars are becoming over complex for no real reason apart from trying to be different. Does any know the replacement costs for these lights if involved in a frontal collision?

[@1001cars]

Are you sure you do not see the advantage of Matrix LED over the standard LED? :) 00:43 do you think you will see the truck parked on the left side? Similar to 02:45. Do you think you will see trees (and sth. what can be between them) just in front of another car like shown? the cost of lamp replacement is extremely easy to find on every big auction site in your country. In Europe it costs around 1500-4000 per each lamp depends on the model and year of car production.

[@figjam5181]

@@1001cars I am sure I can't see the true advantage of this system over traditional LED head lights. My vehicle uses current advanced LED lighting and it works great. Lights up the road perfectly. I agree the Laser system is better, but at what cost. Driver education is more important. Bringing more and more complexity into vehicles is not solving the road toll. Not in Australia anyway. Vehicles today are becoming to complex and the main reason is that luxury brands are looking for ways to differentiate their brand from others. I have a lot of safety systems in my vehicle that I find intrusive and distracting. If I am alert and concentrating and driving to my conditions, this is the best way.

[@1001cars]

@@figjam5181 ... I have no words... Once I have a deer on my road and I could avoid hitting them only because I saw it JUST BECAUSE matrix LED lights (there was another car in front of me, so with regular LED lights I would not be able to use highbeam at that time). It would not have been possible to see the animal without matrix lights. Laser lights are much LESS important function than matrix LED. I published many, many movies which shows how important matrix lights are.
