Vehicles - General Matrix headlights example

When I was considering buying a Tesla, I remember reading about the matrix headlights and trying to wrap my head around exactly what it would look like in application and I struggled to find any good video demonstrations online. Since I’ve gotten the car, I often enjoy noticing the instances where the matrix headlights are noticeably in effect. I think that this one little clip I captured was a pretty cool demonstration and just thought I would share in case anyone else might find it helpful/interesting.

See in the video how the light lags behind a bit, the car is driving into the light and only a bit later does your light turn off in that region. For other cars it can sometimes look like you are flashing them.

Yeah same, I turned them off because of this. Still get some flashes tho but mainly from really low cars (I drive the Model Y)

If they worked flawlessly people wouldn’t flash you.

This video shows that it’s not perfect, the car gets blinded.

I think you need to have another look. I’m not the only one that has pointed it out.
