The article is old...dates back to February of this year. Furthermore, I haven't done digging, but I'm still trying to figure out the difference between what my older vehicles do vs what European cars do. It seems to be related to beam detection. My vehicle already dynamically adjusts brights vs "low" beams: if a car comes over a hill, it "sees" the headlights and shifts to normal beams.
My car does a pretty decent job and turning off the brights when it detects oncoming traffic, is this February Ars article saying that is illegal? If so, why is it implemented in my Hyundai?
EDIT: Based on other replies it appears that the difference is beam forming, exactly. My headlights simply go from high to low. It is pretty odd that would be banned, but okay.
