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.
I have a car with a similar feature. It can be erratic (on/off a lot) in certain situations where there is a lot of lights/signs around. But typically I don't have brights on there. Haven't noticed any degradation with age, but certainly possible.
For context, this is demonstrating a more advanced "automatic brights" system albeit somewhat rudimentary compared to some of the newer LED projectors (e.g. Audi, Mercedes). Turning on your brights is still opt-in. Normal brights don't turn off automatically for pedestrians
