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.
