Yep, and it's all because the US regs only allow for high and low beams that can't redirect and rely on clunky sensors, if they're automatic at all.

Meanwhile, in Europe and Asia, cars have adaptive, beam forming headlights that successfully solved this problem in the early aughts. Even American autos have them - Ford's are so precise they can even create images like the Ford Logo with their lights.

Still illegal to sell in the US because the NHTSA is refusing to allow them, even though Congress straight up told them to allow them a few years ago as a rider on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
