It works very well- the cutoff is always below the bottom of the window even on small sports cars, yet it lights the road itself a long ways. When the back squats due to loading it up, hauling a trailer, or I go over a bump with the front wheels- the headlights always stay pointed down out of peoples eyes. My vehicle is 15 years old, newer German SUVs have dynamic beam shaping that detects cars and actively blocks the light in just the right spots.
Related to your other comments- I think taller vehicles should still have the lights themselves mounted low, and should angle downwards somewhat, not just forwards. It should not be legal to build or drive a car where the cutoff is high enough to blind people in normal cars.
