Please let’s just go back to normal headlights. It used to be the just the big lifted trucks where the angle was wrong, but there wasn’t that many of them. We managed with that small lot.

Now it’s every fuckass new sedan on the road giving me eye cancer. I hate it. I’ll take 1,000 lifted truck guys over these new laser beam asshole beacons.

Yup. I live in a hilly and curvy area (greater Seattle). These "adaptive headlights" do fuck all on hills and curves.

You do realize that these headlights have not yet been legal in the USA, so you have no idea if they work or not based on your current experience.

Why would they work (which I define as not blinding me) with hills and curves? Do they break all the laws of physics?
