Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 weeks agoNot sure, but the tech is old and tested (almost all cold war era things used IR lights). The issue is I think they can sell the super terrible bright lights as “safety” features. And a lot of consumer trends are american based and just forced on the world.

A German auto company isn’t going to pull a safety feature from the EU, South American, and Asian markets just because it’s banned in the US.

No but they will not also pursue one that is not allowed in the us market as hard. But then again time are a changin.

I think you’re over estimating the amount of influence the US auto market has had.
