What is the purpose of the Audi R8's laser light technology?

I've heard that the Audi R8 is equipped with laser light technology, but I'm not quite sure what it does and how it differs from traditional headlights.

The laser light technology in the Audi R8 is designed to provide better visibility and illumination on the road. The laser light is three times more powerful than traditional LED lights and can reach a distance of up to 600 meters. It also has a more focused and precise beam, reducing glare for oncoming drivers.
