The HID systems are really annoying to say nothing of pickups with headlights at eye level if you're in a passenger car. I had cataracts removed from both eyes last year. Prior to that I was mostly flying blind with oncoming headlights. I'm not big on gadgetry and my Toyota doesn't have remote entry, lane keeping, and all that but one thing it does have is automatic headlight dimming. In almost all cases it dims the lights when I would manually either overtaking or approaching. One quirk is a 20 mph curve on my way home that has a lot of reflective signage that will trigger dimming. iirc Cadillac had something like that about 50 years ago that didn't work very well. I assume this system has more intelligence and better sensors.
