This feature is available indeed but I don't feel like it's significant improvement - sensors are too slow to react, too imprecise and moreover drivers seem to rely on them too much, are lazy and don't care about others - for example high beams should be disabled before other car ahead is already visible on winding road , same goes for hills and multitude of other various scenarios where automatic sensors and software just doesn't work.
Tbh it seems that this is another "arms race" just like with car size/SUVs dominance and this arms race can make driving at night really painful experience
- deburo 4y agoOh. That's depressing. Maybe AI-augmented cars will perform better in that regard.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoYes they can be faster, but personally I don’t find them too bad. Half kilometre away the opposing beams are noticeable but not blinding you, yet some drivers blink theirs mostly just to warn you. Matrix headlights is whole next level. People similarly freak out when you back up too quickly into them, because you have a reversing camera on.
- puffoflogic 4y ago> People similarly freak out when you back up too quickly into them, because you have a reversing camera on. Much worse, your car freaks out nowadays. Twice I've had my car apply ABS while I was backing up, while I was fully aware of a car behind me but not in my planned path.
- mellavora 4y ago> your car freaks out nowadays. yes, I almost had a crash in a rental because it freaked out. Car in front of me is stopped at a light. I'm rolling towards it, well aware of the situation and ready to break in plenty of time. suddenly a big red light is flashing on my dashboard (like as big as the spedo) and a loud alarm goes off. Huge distraction.
- xani_ 4y agoHell, some SUV low beams are already obnoxious at night...
