US approves new headlights that won’t blind oncoming drivers

The bigger issue is the higher prevalence of higher vehicles like SUVs and crossovers whose headlights exist at a car driver’s head level.

The worst part is that experiencing this just convinces drivers to join in on these higher vehicles, exacerbating the problem.

While I'm glad that the US has finally approved the headlights that have been in use in Europe for a while, I'm skeptical. It relies on computer vision to not blind people, which means that camera needs to be working and unobstructed and the software needs to be bug free.

My minivan has a sensor to automatically turn on the brights when no cars are around. Now that the car is over four years old, suddenly the brights just start coming on randomly, so either the sensor is busted or obstructed, but the dealer says they can't replicate it so they can't fix it. And that's just a simple sensor.

I hope these advanced lights have much better sensors and long term viability.
