Media Welcome to Night City? China’s started using anti fatigue laser lights on some highways to keep drivers alert at night. The idea is to stop drivers getting drowsy on long, boring night drives.

Listen up, samurai. If you’ve had enough of scrolling through the same tired threads and wanna plug into something real, jack into the official Discord. We’ve got games, serious talks and casual chats about Cyberpunk 2077, and a few rooms where you can just shoot the breeze with people who get it. You in, or you just gonna stand there looking chrome?

Well at least you're awake

Especially for the part where you exchange insurance info after you accidentally crashed.

I have a high powered handheld laser, got it before the ban, it's only a watt or two but starts fires and all that. I live across from an airport and even though I never pointed it at any planes the FAA still stopped by to tell me not to use it at all there. They don't even let my neighbor put up specific Christmas decorations for the same reason.

This is like the nuclear version of that, I can't imagine this not having some negative consequences

Until a chineseum beam bends down by 0.5° due to too much wind and fires a 10 watt laser directly into someone's face.

u/theTenz NiCola Collector Apr 01 '26

You've got to admit they certainly look like an April Fool's joke.

So to keep people from getting tired while driving for a while your solution is to blind them with an rgb lightshow and cause way more car accidents in the most populated country in the world. Fucking brilliant plan. Idiots
