Ford Replacing Spark Plugs with Lasers

This is for real.

https://jalopnik.com/5318554/ford-looking-to-replace-spark-plugs-with-lasers
Ford's in the final stages of development of this technology, should be in its high-end engines within the next few years, and then it will go to all the other engines from there.

 		Blimey, an Engine overhaul! Don't see enough of those, IMO.

Where's my flying car?!

 		When a set of spark plugs need changing, it costs anything from about £3.00 to £10.00 for each plug. I could only imagine how much it would cost to replace this [Dr. Evil Voice]"LASER"[/Dr. Evil Voice] techno when it goes wrong.

I will believe it to be a good solution when I see it !.

Just as Jay already asked... "Where's my flying car ?". The motor industry should be concentrating on weening the world off oil, not promoting oil !
