Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 18 hours agoIt’s also common with European cars, which are much lower and yet have increasingly bright (and bluer?) lights.

The brightness is an issue, but the placement and angle are the bigger problem. Its the slippery slope of following american trends. Years ago Mercedes Benz (I think) put out a car that used IR light and a heads up screen (no visible headlights, just running lights) showing the driver the night landscape without needing to blind everyone. It was banned in the states, no real reason why but the idea went dead.

UV scare. They had to use UV lights to make it work. But they weren’t on the same wavelength as say a tanning bed but people made a noise about it anyways.

No IR not UV. Not the same wavelength UV and IR are on the opposite sides of the visual spectrum.
