Asleep at the Wheel in the Headlight Brightness Wars

The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industry itself?

    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:

    1. That is fucking dumb.
    2. 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.
