I am physically unable to drive after sundown because those headlights fuck so hard with my light sensitivity. I can’t see anything, it feels like someone slowly stabbing your eyes with a pencil.
Admittedly not the smartest thing to do, but I now keep a reflective umbrella in the car for when my partner is driving and one of those assholes decides to tailgate.
That’s the theory and it sounded great in the adverts. But in my experience, “automatic” means on by default and most folks don’t think about them, creating the problem- we’re all blind because the damn things come on too much. To work properly, they’ll have to know where the city limits are, not just trigger at “x” lumens level.
And while we’re temporarily blinded, “Fooly Automasted Slef Driving” will probably kill us before that happens…
they lost me at automatic high beams. we don’t need more cars on the road with LED high beams blinding everybody within two kilometers

Automatic means they turn on and off automatically so it actually cuts down on the problem you’re describing
that is very inaccurate
they often don’t work until after they’ve already flashbanged you, and they don’t recognize anything but vehicles
They don’t work well enough to justify their legality

I hate to break it to you bud, but pretty much every single vehicle sold in the last 5 years or so are equipped with LED headlights.
and fuck every single one of them
