Audi gave the world this nice upgrade. They also find out people hate it. So they have developed a new headlight that give some kind shadow to other cars. Hopefully this will be a new law for led light.
Those idiotic LED matrix lights keep conveniently missing the wing mirrors of cars in front when casting their shadow
Arsehole lights for arsehole cars for arsehole people, I guess.
There was a well established and very simple technology for not blinding other traffic. High beam and low beam, with a manual switch. No myriad of sensors and computers that do a worse job than any driver with just half a brain and some small remainder of decency.
Unfortunately, they do. People seem to think because of all the assistance systems in modern cars, they don’t need to pay attention anymore. My daily commute on a narrow country road with largely no centre line has become a harrowing adventure in the past couple years. Idiots are increasingly driving in the middle of, or even on the wrong side of the road. These days even a solid centre line is becoming a mere suggestion.
Every car has auto high beams now, and I gotta wonder what the folks living on country roads think about thousands of cars flashing their lights for the split second there’s no oncoming traffic.
we hate it. fucking hate it. it’s so goddamn offensive for people to be lighting up the night sky like that when their already way more bright than necessary lowbeams do just fine

Those are getting more scarce too.

The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.
I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.
Can you say again? I didn’t hear

God my wife’s car has that and I hate it-
And don’t forget that people outside of cars exist which are missed 100% of the time
The cars don’t miss the people outside of the car 100% of the time, unfortunately.
Point your side view mirrors lower and out more? They are to see your sides, the rear view covers the behind.
If they’re set properly, it shouldn’t be reflecting cars behind you into your eyes.
You’re supposed to be able to rely entirely on your side mirrors, the rear view is for quick glances, it’s honestly not a great mirror
This poster loves blindspots.
How does this make blind spots? You still see just the edge of your vehicle.
