    There is finally a solution to those blinding Xenon and Halogen headlights.

    The recently passed bipartisan infrastructure bill has approved the use of adaptive (auto) high-beam headlights.

    For new car buyers, this means flicking between separate high and low beams could become a thing of the past. The following Ford video, from its UK division, is an excellent visual demonstration of how adaptive headlights work.

    The system uses an array of LEDs rather than separate high and low beam bulbs. A frontal camera monitors for other cars and adaptively dims only the area it detects traffic in while maintaining full high-beam brightness everywhere else. This allows the driver to keep high-beam brightness always on without blinding other drivers
