that polish shit looks like it fucks

definitely a large factor

disagree on the last part.

headlines cannot be outright false to their contents, it is acceptable to assume the headline is true to the article

that doesn't change that in this case the headline clearly has two separate claims

to be fair, I have a super extra hate hard on for blinding headlights

I think it's entirely justified, but I definitely care more than the average person that I meet or talk to

I'm also pretty tired of nearly driving off the road into the 15 ft deep rocky ditch at 90 km/h on a windy hill, and I've nearly driven into pedestrians who were crossing mid-block because I couldn't see them because of LED headlights on the other side. and I've seen people nearly get hit crossing in the crosswalk at a four-way stop because the driver ahead of me couldn't see them because the car on the other side had LED headlights.

I recognize that some of those situations would be avoided with matrix headlights. but the key word is some - it's not all.

as a side point, the invention of headlights that are so goddamn bright that you have to actually point them farther downwards so that you don't blind oncoming traffic to avoid them driving head-on into you at a hundred kilometers an hour, rather than aiming them to illuminate farther ahead on the road, that whole thing is a concept is just so fucking stupid

bingo

and here's the thing - they will never be able to work "properly", it will always be reactive. and more dangerous road conditions (curves, hills, etc) only make it worse in a scenario where the effect greatly increases danger.

it's for highway driving and that's it

I nearly biked into a pothole once because of some asshole with LED headlights coming towards me. it was a big enough pothole I would likely have fallen and been run over by the suv right behind me.

definitely those, but many other manufacturers blind me with brake lights now too. I have to stop excessively far back at red lights sometimes because the person in front is riding the brakes

It's reactive instead of the proactive

it will simply never be good enough to work for all cyclists and pedestrians

like sure use it on the highway whatever, but people already can't use auto high beam in appropriate settings (look at all the people using it in cities)

you guys are trying to protect them?

that it was

same. and usually at somebody else's house, too. even if I bring my own (sharp) knife lmao

matrix headlights still aren't good enough

I've seen this a few times and just started at them and told them they were an idiot.

they unironically wanted to go on "one". dumbasses
