Laser headlamps are close before their first introduction into real world traffic.But before they are going to be introduced into serial application Audis laser headlamps are used in motor racing for a final testing.In its first application, laser headlamps are used as additional main beam contributors only.The result is a typical motor racing demand: It has a high range of visibility with a small solid angle.For the serial car one can use the released laser headlamp racing concept.Additionally the safety requirements have to be checked and updated.New standards and specifications are necessary to exclude any danger for other road users such as bicyclist, pedestrians and motorists (who are not present on race tracks).Danger could be caused e.g.by coherent class 4 radiation outside the laser headlamp.In this paper, three points will be explained: 1.Mode of operation of laser headlamps2.Potential risks and failures 3.Safety solutions The results are new and have not been used before in any other headlamp technology.Key factors are several combined sensor signals, new sensor types and optical elements.
