        Oh i thought it’d be something like, changing the angle of the lights or something

        Ya i don’t use the automatic high beam thing because it’s just a little fucky, and it being automated you stop paying attention as much, and then you end up blinding someone when the car doesn’t register them and switch and you’re not paying attention

        I did think it was kinda cool though until i realized how often it doesn’t work right

          Some euro cars can selectively stop high beams from pointing at passing cars while keeping them on for the rest of the road but I’ve heard anecdotally that it’s not the most effective on the other drivers end.

            yeah my gf’s car seems to detect headlights or something and then flip the high beams off in response but it just isn’t always super good at it
