kamenladyWhy there's no quick fix in sight for the problem of dazzling headlights
FireRetardantHeadlight height reuglations 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 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.
ebolapieI 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.
My understanding is that thwres a a federal limit of like 30% light being blocked for windshields, with most states having stronger regulations.
My state, Mass, only allows any tint in the top 6" for instance. BUT, its really easy to get a waiver, overriding that. All it requires is taking a doctor’s note documenting photosensitivity to the DMV.
Back in highschool, my friend’s mom had glaucoma, and got her car tinted. Because he was on his parent’s insurance, that made her a registered user of his car, and also entitled him to tint his out. He had his windshield tinted to about the darkness of a medium pair of sunglasses.
