Adaptive headlights are the new thing.

Old car headlights were all the same — which was a fairly bright idea ?t=836

But, with their trademark timeliness, there’s actually good news on the glare front.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has approved for the first time
adaptive beam technology which can selectively dim portions of the driving beam,
blocking out small regions to reduce glare for other drivers while maintaining high illumination for you everywhere else.
It’s basically like if your headlights were high resolution projectors and a camera says
“ooh! there’s a car there, block out that part” but everything else stays bright!
So it’s like you have your high beams on all the time but other drivers don’t even know it!
That amazing tech has been on the European market since 2009.
But it took thirteen years to get approved here.
