The really funny thing is they have the tech built in that will auto dim the lights when facing another car, a bicycle or person on the street.

It's just enabled in the EU where matrix dynamic adaptive headlights are allowed.

The US has had a law to allow them for 3ish years, but the NTSB is dragging its feet.

The real kicker is the companies that have the tech built in, namely Audi, BMW, Porsche don't have plans to enable it with a firmware change, it'll be available once the cars are approved on future models.

There is a bit different from the Tesla Model Y adaptive headlights which are only applied to the high beams.

A fair number of models have low and high matrix beams, and it's pretty spectacular seeing it in action. It can dim the light against people's heads, cuts off clean lines at opposing vehicle headlights so your bright light never hits their windshield, and dim against street signs so they don't reflect blinding lights back at you.

Check out some videos of the Audi Matrix HD lights. Try to rent one if you're in Germany next. It's really something else.

So much better than the kneecapped shit we get state side.

That shit is too slow, you are blinded for a second until it detects you, I hate them.

Problem is, you didn't notice the ones working correctly.

I'm from Germany and all of this fancy matrix dynamic adaptive stuff doesn't change the fact that I get blinded by bright flashy LEDs every time I drive at night.

We need new regulations on headlights. 1: make soft white mandatory for non-highbeams. 2: make headlights adjustments and tests part of annual safety inspections so that the highlights on trucks do not shine directly into a sedan's drivers eyes via the rearview mirror.

The existing regulations for headlights are actually quite sufficient, and already cover some of those concerns. The problem is that there's no enforcement of the regulations.

Hate me all you want. I'll burn your eye sockets out with my high beams.

I spent an extreme amount of time aligning my low beams so they don't point up into people's eyes. And I drive a fairly low to the ground Hyundai Elantra. I am very careful with those high beams.
