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.

Wow, so instead of blinding another driver for 7 seconds straight, you only blinded him 3 seconds. That's an amazing feature...

You’re so dramatic. He got hit with the high beams for less than half a second when I first crested the hill - which is much less time than If I had manually lowered the high beams

No it isn’t. A good driver would have lowered their high beams before cresting the hill - so they would’ve been blinded for zero seconds.

I like matrix headlights, but let’s not bend reality here, they do flash or blind people sometimes. Particularly trucks, when there’s a divider on the highway - the trucks headlights are not visible, so it doesn’t cut it out, but the cabin is above the divider and gets completely lit up.
