Asleep at the Wheel in the Headlight Brightness Wars

The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industry itself?

    Fucking blue lights. Also fuck Teslas that do auto brights because that shit does NOT work correctly.

      I think you’re shitting on the wrong car. I don’t trust auto-brights for exactly the reason you give but so far my Tesla’s are flawless and react before I can. Auto brights are common now and most of them suck

        You’re not paying attention if they can react faster than you can. It’s not hard to notice headlights coming from around a turn.

        I can tell you from years of experience, Tesla high beams will turn on and blind me all the fucking time regardless of time of day. So please, don’t patronize me and my experience.

      My dad drove a '56 Cadillac for many years, with a factory-fitted electric eye on the dash that would dim high beams if oncoming lights were detected. It was a simple system that worked really well. So it says something about Tesla if they managed to fuck that up.

      I drove this rental Toyota a few weeks ago that did not let me not use the autobrights, and they blinded a bunch of people and I’m horrified.

      Sorry everyone.
