I’ve researched it and I’m reporting back.
The answer is that the technology is advertised as not dazzling oncoming drivers only.
Further, the little explanation of the technology I could find stated it worked by detecting headlights and taillights of cars.
The remaining area will be lit with modern high-intensity beam.
Thus, I conclude that the pedestrians and cyclists will be blinded.
- wilg 3y agoWhat do you suggest we do? Make the headlights dimmer? The current regulations seem to allow between 500-3000 candelas.
- antiframe 3y agoI suggest we make headlights be no higher off the ground than 2' and adjusted downwards. If your vehicle is so tall that your lights are under the grill, that's on you. People don't need to be blinded by bright white lights at eye level.
- hunter2_ 3y agoI haven't done a whole lot of research, but this [0] says > matrix headlights, consist of numerous small LED elements and mirrors that can control a light beam in complex ways. This allows the lights to be more precisely aimed, illuminating what the driver needs to see without blinding other motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists.
