Bear in mind that matrix lights are the norm in EU on high end cars while in US they are prohibited. I bet that explains the brightness: you can have overly bright lights if they are matrix while obviously that would be detrimental in regular headlights.
- ssl-3 2y agoThings like matrix lights used to be prohibited on new cars in the US. This has subsequently changed: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-allow-adaptive-driving-beam-headlights-new-vehicles-improving-safety-drivers https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-allow-adaptive-dr...
- egorfine 2y agoOh, that's good news! (Why do I have a feeling that all the ways I can come up with to compliment the US for this achievement sound like irony?)
- ssl-3 2y agoIt's kind of meh news at this point. There's a ton of blinding vehicles on the road in the States, and it is getting worse at an accelerated rate, and even if fancy matrix-ey headlights became the norm it will take a Very Long Time for the old stuff to get cycled out. Up next, let me tell you about that time that we held onto analog AMPS cell phones for years longer than any developed country that I know if, and how when we did finally begin to transition to something digital we made sure that we failed to standardize on any one format and made all of them as incompatible with things like European GSM as we could.
- egorfine 2y agoOh yeah, tell me about it. > held onto analog AMPS cell *cough* faxes, anyone? *cough*
