Also, what about the selective beam technology, I understand it is not legal in the USA, but do we actually have this technology built in and its just deactivated?
The laser lights are equipped in the US but nerfed for the amount lumens allowed. As I understand it the benefit of the laser tech compared to other vehicles in the US is negligible because of the brightness limitation.
