    Headlight height regulations and lumen limits. If a transport truck can have reasonably placed head lights, so can the f250.

      I’ve been thinking about this stuff since I moved to a place where nights are very dark and people use high beams much more liberally (and inconsiderately)

      It’s it possible to have some sort of lumen-activated glass tinting? Something to protect the receiving end?

        I believe any kind of window tint on windshields is illegal in the United States. Even electrochromic tint that is 100% transparent most of the time.

        I think ive heard of glasses that do something similar in the sunlight. I think auto makers will be hesisitant because if it fails to revert back the low visibility could be hazardous and result in a lawsuit. I think we can solve this problem with proper regulation rather than add even more tech to new cars. Along with lumen limits the “warmth” (kelvin) of the lights may be regulated as well.

          God I wish it was 3000K max, just like good old halogen bulbs.
