    Please don’t mandate computerized light dimming

    A bill introduced into Congress earlier this year—the LIGHT (Limiting Intense Glare for Highway and Two-lane) Safety Act—directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to study and establish an overarching maximum allowable brightness for low-beam headlights in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Right now, there are rules around the intensity of headlights at different parts of the beam, but no limits on the overall brightness.

    Oh, a good bill.

      I respect the effort someone put into making that acronym. That must be a fun job.

      I was so ready to post a “bright headlights solution is coming” // “look inside” // “it’s just fucking adaptive headlights again” meme until that paragraph

      this actually offers some hope
