Even if this would be a good idea, you can't just put some non regulated lights on a car. This would need a law change in Germany to be approved and would probably take years of burocrazy until she get beards figured out the exact hue these lights need to emit. But I guess Mercedes already wrote that law for our government to copy. How convenient.
Since it's Mercedes-Benz doing it, they'll just write the new law themselves and tell the German minister of traffic to push it through.
I dont understand, does benz have leverage in the german government?
It's a bit of a meme because german politics is so heavily lobbied by our car industry.
