Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it?
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 12 hours agoIt’s practical. The polarizers don’t have to be sunshade just polarizing. There’s a little attenuation but it’s by no means a dark shade. Obviously you are tossing away half the light plus the light Absorbed by the glasses. It can be gradually phased in over the usual 13 years of full fleet replacement.

Half the light plus are functionally sunglasses and would be hazardous for a pedestrian to be wearing in the dark. The only time a pedestrian would be able to see is when a vehicle was illuminating the area.

You could be wearing a flashlight also with a polarizer on it? The street lights could also be made polarized.

I believe you’ve veered into possible but far from practical territory.

I hear you but I rarely if ever walk outside at night and if I do I walk only well lit streets. Like the situation where I have a pressing need to walk outside while it’s super dark without a lamp is just dumb. In some places it’s illegal to walk outside without a flash light outside…I’m almost so sure I could Google it.
