Headlights Are Blinding Us | Here’s Why it’s Mostly an American Problem
In Europe and Asia, many cars offer adaptive driving beam headlights that can bath the road ahead in bright light but without ever blinding other drivers. ADB is a lighting technology that has been available for many years in other parts of the world but not in the United States.
The closest we can get to that today are automatic high beams. But that still means driving much - or most - of the time using only low beam headlights that don't reach very far. That can be dangerous.
ADB-enabled headlights already are sold on some luxury cars in America. Their adaptive capabilities aren't enabled here because they still don't meet US rules. It will probably be years before ADB headlights are widely available in the US.
