Does this look terrible to anyone else? I can't imagine how it deals with rapidly changing bumpy roads. Based on the effectiveness of today's "automatic brights" that only detect other cars 80% of the time, I can imagine lots of nasty failure cases, especially as the computers and the sensors age.

Worst of all... how exactly does this tech deal with pedestrians? Perhaps by blinding them completely? Maybe it has some detection for movement, but what if I'm just standing by the side of the road, maybe waiting for a friend to pick me up?

I really wish regulators would stop this madness. Feels like an arms race out there on the road.

Of course the solution must be some swiveling IoT Rube Goldberg light. We simply don't have the technology to dim the lights or adjust the hue.

Absolute garbage. It's completely unsafe to start changing headlight direction and brightness, because that's how other members of car traffic detect where you are.

If your brightness suddenly changes, people may assume you're further or closer than you actually are and if your headlight direction changes, they may assume you're on a collision course with them and in turn behave erratically.

I really did not expect this from Volvo. Tbh the person who suggested this needs to be fired immediately and barred from doing anything safety-related for the rest of their life.
