Very pretty, but surely never going to be legal. I’m surprised they get away with their scrolling indicators.
Turns a ■■■■■ car into a big ■■■■■ car.
Why can’t you just have an orange lens with a normal bulb in it?
Its more of “look what we thought up in our spare time” thing.
I have noticed that the knobs in the newer Audi’s are suddenly very keen to use their new indicators to show off.
Thing is, like many of us I suspect, I don’t give a toss about their repmobiles! I am just happy to know where the bellends are going.
New daf indicators are very simlair to Audi indicators.
Pretty looking lights. Got sweet F A to do with indicating a vehicles intended movements etc, but still pretty.

But if we’re entering an era of driverless vehicles, do we even need to know the car in fronts intentions?

Good point. Maybe the future is here then? These are designed as entertainment for when the vehicle`s occupants get bored with looking at their phones, and actually glance out of a window?
Form over function, for saddo “look at me” merchants

The cars might not, but everyone else still does including pedestrians and cyclist, plus all the older vehicles which aren’t driverless (they’d be around for a very very long time).
As for legality - from what I can see in the “vehicle construction and use regulations”, there are stipulations including the colour being “amber” and distances from the edge of the car / height from ground, but oddly can’t find anything about it being a solid block of light which is probably how those annoying existing Audi ones get away with it. This concept example fails on the amber colouring however.
Wonder how much it’d cost to replace the whole back unit when it’'s cracked or breaks down. 
and i thought DRL’s were camp enough.
And can someone explain to me that turn to the left or right and a corresponding fog lamp or whatever illuminates.
And yes, some of those drl patterns are cringeworthy - how can you look cool when you turn up in something which looks like a surprised insect.
Fog lights on todays vehicles could do with a revamp, not only due to illinformed overuse but mainly as they are so bright they mask brake lights.
After much thought ive deceided fog lights should be pink, not only for the safety but also you look very gay if you leave them on unnecessarily.
No offence to the gays, after all the best words my wife has ever said to me during a romantic interlude are ‘can you stick it up my bum’.
Ironically a phrase I have repeated on more than one occasion.

When i first received my wonderful 
MAN, and noticed the turn lights in the front cluster (separate light entirely on MANs) i too thought they would be nothing but a silly idea like the DRL’s, luckily the latter can be turned off via the menu so off they are and they are simple rectangular jobbies anyway, nothing frilly knickers about them.
Anyway, the MAN’s dipped headlights are typically German, billions of watts shining to the left, the pattern rising steeply upwards so if snipers lurking in the tops of the trees on the left side of the road are a problem for you an MAN is your answer.
However, the beams are sharply cut off on the offside which vanishes into complete darkness as there is virtually no light scatter, to say this makes night country road driving unpleasant is an understatement.
Worse still is turning right at an unlit junction, you nearly need a torch handy to have a poke nose, but the turn light comes to the rescue and in this instance is a superb design with the light shining exactly where you need it.
Well done MAN.
No need for the other side though, there’s already enough light power there to ignite the eyeballs of any poor sod in a smaller vehicle you are overtaking, so the NS turn light for the way the beams are set in RHD vehicles is overkill.
No we didn’t need such things in times gone by, but the dipped headlights of older vehicles had more light scatter anyway, there wasn’t this sudden cut off where inside the light pattern is searing to the eye, and anything outside vanishes.

That is way to cheap and simple to rectify when it fails…And is no good for truck shows ,a bulb !!! 
Plus one with Juddian and Norb.
Super spec lights with zero scatter have created a need for turning lights. A simple headlamp with a bit more spread to the sides is good, not bad. A single type of bulb to be put into different locations is good, not bad. But neither makes for advertising copy or spares revenue.
