The survey lasts until April 20. I’m glad transport Canada is looking into it.
Edit: thanks @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca for pointing out that I got the date wrong.

They have a proven technology to fix this issue. The US is kind of late to the game.

They pretty much solve the issue of blinding other drivers.
You know what else solves the issue of blinding other drivers, and doesn’t require the use of finicky and expensive moving parts? Lights that aren’t stupidly bright, and have a gradual fall-off.
I think either way is acceptable. What is not is increasingly bright lights without the technology to prevent them from blinding others.
Technology isn’t always the answer. This adds more cost to the car and more maintenance cost, when the solution is to simply turn down the lights and make sure they are at the correct angle.
It’s also more complicated to operate. Supposedly my car has this feature and I have no idea if it’s working, but maybe I’m misunderstanding the manual.
We have a tendency to add technology and complexity to solve problems, but I’ve always tried to live by the saying “a good engineer knows what to leave out”. Though I do still over engineer things from time to time.
