I don't see how these headlights on modern cars are legal. They are absolutely blinding to other drivers. Car lobby must have a plan like just buy our new car with tinted front windows so you can see at night

Clown world.
They usually aren't legal. If the car came with halogen bulbs, it is illegal to replace them with LEDs unless you change the entire assembly to an LED assembly. The headlights are approved as an entire device, including the factory-spec bulbs.
All new cars headlights are too fucking bright. It's fucking stupid and ridiculous and dangeorus
Absolutely. If you need ultra bright headlights to see that badly you need to either 1) slow the fuck down or 2) not drive.
Yup, they might as well be driving with high beams on.
My favorite are the Chinese junk retrofit kits. These fuckers are driving around with their headlights blinking at 60 Hz. I can't even imagine what it's like to drive like that. Your car travels 2 or 3 feet in between pulses, so the strobe effect must be quite strong.
Ability to sense things correlates with intelligence. Dumb people probably don't see the flicker, they just see it as a slightly dimmer but continuous light.
Back when CRT monitors were normal I would walk around and change people's resolution to something reasonable, instead of the Windows default of 60 Hz. They had no idea that anything was wrong, and only half of them noticed an improvement.
Ford is the worse offender. Damn near impossible to drive in desert approaching them .
As a bonus, all the light switch does is turn on the "unseen by driver" tail lights.
Why bother having it, as it almost forces the driver to think tail are on.
