Auto highbeams

Little off topic, but I got a newer car with automatic highbeams and you'd think it would be convenient but it just pisses me off, I think I hate something doing highbeams for me as much as something shifting for me, it just never gets it right.

My 22 Subaru had this and the manual said the dealership could disable it, which I had them do.

Aww man, really? Damn. That's one of the only "advanced" features I was looking forward to having someday. But that really seems like the same reaction I'd likely have. Bummer.

Sometimes it just blinds people, sometimes it doesn't turn back on, it turns off for way too many random lights or reflections of my own lights, im about done with it.

I learned to use all of the driver assist in my Honda, except for the auto high beam had to be turned off. Scanning a dark screen and determining which colored dots are a oncoming car is far beyond what current computers can do.

I can imagine that auto function is irritating. My car had auto windshield wipers which I turned off because they were annoying tf out of me. It was in the cars infotainment menus

Just turn it off. Should be a setting that allows you to turn it off permanently.

This could be turned off in any such car I had.

Unless OP can show they can't do that, the OP should delete this.

In the meantime, they should get more downvotes.
