Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns

The glaring headlights have the opposite solution here: more technology. While auto-high beams are becoming common, we need the next step of active matrix headlights. They really are marvelous!
For me the active matrix headlights are still new enough that every time I’m amazed watching the dark spot in my headlight beams move to keep the oncoming traffic out of the glare.
Yeah this is kind of expensive but it’s getting the point that we really need it everywhere
Banning the root cause seems a lot simpler and cheaper
But the root cause is banned. People are already supposed to click off their high beams for nearby traffic. Those LED replacement bulbs do say “not for headlights” because they’re not allowed in standard projector housings, lifted truck are required to point their headlights down. But the problem continues to get worse despite each scenario being banned.
The problem is how do you make the bans effective? Or how do you get people to do the right thing no matter how self_centered they are?
But tech solutions work over years
In the meantime I’m thinking of getting those yellow lenses polarized driving glasses to see if it makes a difference

Don’t get me started on that, stupid direct led brakes lights should be outright illegal. They literally blind every following car behind, specially if the windshield is dirty or foggy.
How those damn things got approved in the first place is
beyond my understandingcorruption.

I’ve heard complaints about led highbeams plenty of times, but this is the first time I’ve heard it about rear breaking lights. I personally have never been blinded by those.
