In this report from Regular Car Reviews, the guys delve into the infuriating issue of blindingly bright headlights plaguing our roads. They highlight a recent Porsche maccon EV recall due to headlights exceeding safety standards, shedding light on the dangers posed by these excessively bright lights. It's not just moving vehicles that are the culprits; even idling cars can unleash blinding glares, making nighttime driving a perilous affair. The lack of enforcement of regulations around LED headlights, emitting illegal levels of light, is a cause for concern, with the onus on informed officers to take action.
The team brings attention to the soft lights Foundation's advocacy for LED light regulation, citing the harmful effects on both motorists and the environment. They point out the rushed introduction of LEDs without adequate long-term testing, leading to unregulated intense light emission. While LED headlights offer energy efficiency, they can damage housings in vehicles not designed for them, creating a safety hazard on the roads. The discussion extends to Adaptive Driving beam headlights, prevalent in Europe and China, which reduce glare for oncoming drivers without compromising visibility, a solution that seems elusive in the US due to stringent regulations.
The conversation shifts to the slow progress in incorporating ADB headlights in the US, with Tesla's recent introduction of these features in the new Model Y offering a glimmer of hope. Despite Tesla's strides, other automakers like Mercedes and Audi have already implemented similar adaptive lighting features. The report underscores the urgent need for proper regulation and enforcement to address the escalating issue of blinding headlights, making nighttime driving safer for all motorists.
