New car headlights?

Sounds cool.

These have been around outside the US for a while now.

Yeah. For almost a decade I believe.

another $2k added to the cost
of a new car, and $4k to repair
them after an accident.

And another thing to go wrong and make the car fail inspection if there’s… I believe it’s called “schmutz”… on the sensors.

I mean, Hell, if a Tesla can torpedo a semi that’s turning in front of it like it’s the Lusitania, I wonder how these lights will perform under less-than-ideal conditions.

I like it.
Not blinding oncoming drivers is an excellent strategy.

As for cost of repair it sounds like it just deactivates a few LED chips, the other function your car’s computer already does are more extensive than this.
