Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?

Stop driving with the high beams on! Seriously, this is a solution looking for a problem. Don’t create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people’s ability to see
Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can’t be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.

Low beams were fine until idiots started putting them four feet above the ground. Now they’re in the eyes of anyone not driving a monster truck.

Except the lower ones are still there. There’s a set of lights every 18 inches. Why are there three sets of lights on some of these trucks?
