Ban Blinding Headlights! NHTSA Proposes Cyan Lights

Dear Supporters,

NHTSA has proposed permitting cyan lights to identify autonomous vehicles.  The proposal would add additional LED lights into our environment which is already awash in LED lights.  The proposal would increase distraction and cognitive load, while proving practically no benefit.  The Soft Lights Foundation opposes this idea and has submitted a public comment.
