        I agree, but how well would the lens hold up to the heat/explosions and still be able to read the vapor with a layer of carbon on it? That's what I wonder. I sure hope that doesn't mean you would have to pull them every 10k miles to clean them. Who knows... time will tell.

          I doubt that, manus are trying to do away with most maintenance, hower as a shop owner, I would love it.

          Time will tell for sure, but if it ever comes to light, I can't see it happening in the near future. (decade s )

            Laser tag

            I wonder just how strong a laser has to be to do the job? I'd hope you wouldn't need a license and a 3-day waiting period just to deal with these.

                    "...It will take a few more years of testing and the requisite safety approvals before Ford's laser ignition system is put into a production model..."

                    Translation?

                    "So... Dr. Mingledorff... Just exactly how many pistons have you burned holes through in the last five years of testing...???"
