The headlights that are basically as bright as most cars high beams. Should be illegal
i hate them, i hate them, i fucking hate them
95% of the time I get blinded by an oncomming car’s headlights, it is either a Tesla or a Mercedes.
The vast majority, it is a Tesla.
I read somewhere that a Tesla resets their headlight possitioning to the default value after every software update.
If that is true, I have two responses:
- That is fucking dumb.
- I wouldn’t be surprised if it would actually be determined to be illegal, though they would probably argue that it is the driver’s responsibility to check their vehicle before driving, which would be a fair argument unless if the car didn’t change the settings on it’s own.
Interesting. I always wonder about that for my Tesla. The lights are insanely bright, but there’s also a clear sharp cutoff. I can see my headlights not shining above bumper height on the car in front of me. It seems like it is working as claimed and should not cause glare
Sure enough, other Tesla’s are the same. There might be a brief flash at certain angles but in general Tesla headlights are easy on the eyes.
Same with Audi …… except some seem stuck on high beam
It’s other cars. I don’t know if people just drive with high beams on, or trucks have headlights too far off the ground, or people replace their old style bulbs with LED, without replacing the projectors
I’ve been pondering a very similar design. I feel that if I can fix a mirror down and it completely blinds the car behind me using their own lumens, then that’s their problem.
A 5 kwatt Xenon strobe would be even more effective.
/s because even on Lemmy, you never who when some literal-minded fool will go try it and get someone killed.
