        By selectively dimming the area that is shining towards other cars. That’s the definition of matrix headlights, they are not any brighter than regular headlights

          Don’t argue with stupid. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

          For the uninformed go YouTube some videos on how Rivian and Audi does matrix headlights. It’s very smart. Very reasonable and the tech can evolve and get better. It’s the best outcome because I’m not giving up being able to see more clearly in super dark backroads compared to my old car.

        We’ve had matrix headlights in Europe for over a decade and they work extremely well

        They actually kinda do? Any oncoming car with matrix headlights doesn’t blind me and when I had them (well, projector based adaptive lights actually), I never got flashed at.

        IIRC they even blocked out cyclists and pedestrians though I could be wrong.

        And unlike simply having dim lights, they still illuminated the roadside enough that I could see the animals before they’d jump onto the road.
