By selectively dimming the area that is shining towards other cars. That's the definition of matrix headlights, they are not any brighter than regular headlights
Oh, I see. I actually hadn't heard that term before. I googled "matrix headlights" and what I got was a brand selling aftermarket bright headlights. So I assumed that's what we were talking about.
Don’t argue with stupid. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
For the uninformed go YouTube some videos on how Rivian and Audi does matrix headlights. It’s very smart. Very reasonable and the tech can evolve and get better. It’s the best outcome because I’m not giving up being able to see more clearly in super dark backroads compared to my old car.
If you assume anyone who says something you disagree with or don't understand is stupid, you give up any chance of expanding your perspective. It's not an intelligent strategy, certainly when compared to a perfectly civil discussion.
Sir you lost any chance of wanting me to engage in any discussion of good faith when you didn’t take less time than you did to post this response with just quickly searching about matrix headlights. The technology around them and the platform as a whole has exponential improvement upsides than analog incandescent or even led lights.
But no, pithy retorts about bright lights being bright is totally the way to kick off a civil discussion.
Cheers.
okay, so you're just an asshole. you'd rather blind other drivers than have less but still sufficient light to see. that makes you an asshole.
I think you should have your pipes checked for lead and your house tested for asbestos.
