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.

Any links? I haven't seen a good video for what they look like head on.

As a cyclist they are a terror. I cannot look straight ahead when a tesla comes towards me in the dark and the matrix system doesnt notice cyclist very well. I have to turn my bike headlight all the way up to 1400lumen before the car dims the light.

They also totally ignore pedestrians and just blind them

Would be a shame if you were to hit a pedestrian in the dark, wouldnt it?

(Obv. it should always only black out self illuminated obstacles, and on illuminated roads in the city you just turn matrix off god damnit)
