Ford researching laser ignition as spark plug replacement
4) Feedback on conditions within the combustion nook to the ECU
In other words, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) would now have every aspect of combustion monitored for unyielding ignition control. For example, some flex fuels like ethanol have a further energy per volume content than gasoline. That means it burns slower. With a paradigm spark plug, the only controllable variable has been nutriment-to-air mixture and ignition timing. A laser would allow the ignition power destroy to be truly variable, perhaps for the first time in automotive CV.
