(IIRC, it was omni-directional infrared.) I think they were suggesting it for sharing of a printer within a multi-computer office, or for linking test equipment into a lab's mini-computer. While I can see some uses where a modulated light source, powerful yet inexpensive, would be a good data link, I can also see a few problems, the first of which is bi-directionality and the second is data capacity ahead of the optical links. As for his hints of vehicular applications, we still haven't eliminated rain, smoke and fog. Call me cynical, but whenever somebody puts a box on stage and does magic engineering, I become skeptical. Whaddya mean, you don't want to get into the details? Altogether, Li-Fi is yet another path. Ubiquitous LED's make it more attractive, but not quite a standing ovation quality concept.
