Actually I think it's worse than that because it creates the false notion that the cyclist using these are now somehow safer. Laser to ground projection whether either front or rear is not really going to be useful as a safety feature because in order to view it someone in a car would have to already be pretty close to the cyclist using it. This means that such a device might actually take attention away from the cyclist as someone who is driving might actually be distracted as they start to gawk at the projection and end up losing track of what the cyclist themselves are doing. Probably not going to happen with someone using the rear laser lights that project red lines on the road but I can foresee the front ones that project the bike image ahead of the bike as being a potential distractive danger.
