You get Lemmy gold
I actually bought special night driving glasses today because of exactly this.
It took me a while to buy something just because of other people’s stupid headlights.
special night driving glasses
Do tell! I’m interested if you have any tips!
They are like sunglasses that filter out bright blue / white light but do not darken everything so you can use them at night. They improve contrast and reduce eye fatigue.
Search for: “LED headlight glare reduction glasses” or just “night driving glasses” and you’ll see many of these yellow tinted glasses.
I hope they’ll do the trick!
Makes sense but damn really feels like they’ve won now
Yes exactly this, this has been bothering me for so long and I did not want them to win! But in the end I value my healthy and safety more than my sense of justice, I feel like such a sellout.
What if one were to, I don’t know, thin out some yellow paint and airbrush it onto a set of LED headlights. Would this do the trick without having to wear glasses?
Oh I know. We don’t win this battle by squinting and swerving.
We win by closing our eyes and whispering goodbye.
there are also flip down visors.
They make those? I can’t dive at all at night because of this shit, are they just called driving glasses?
Edit: just saw you explained it lower, sorry
I no longer wish to make money off this idea, I simply want it to exist
Ship mirrors with built in liquid crystal layers that use the camera in the car to map and then block headlight brightness from the driver.
It takes some electricity but the car has batteries and an alternator.
Anyone other than Tesla or a Elon musk invested entity is allowed to use this idea.
Well, auto-dimming rear-view mirrors have been a thing since the 90’s.
Your idea layers onto that, and I’m sure it would require trivial amounts of power (watches have used LCD since the 80’s).
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen LCD used as a dimming method for windows.
Those things fucking suck! Last card I had had one and it took like 30 seconds to a minute to darken. Next car I made sure had the old school flicky doohickey.
I dunno, the one in my 06 Jetta worked really well whereas the one in my 13 Subie doesn’t seem to do anything
We’ve had them in a few cars. What we’ve found is that the “perfect” amount of dimming varies from person to person. Same car, I thought the dimming logic wasn’t aggressive enough, while my wife thought it was too aggressive (or the reverse, I don’t remember). The manual mirror avoids this issue entirely.
Yeah, but the window ones require a lot more power hear. No idea how the physics and math work out.
I think you speak of a feature that some BMWs have where they have a led matrix for headlights and will selectively turn off the ones aimed at oncoming cars while the rest stay on
But I want this defensively, for the car with LEDs installed at old incandescent voltages, the truck that rides 3" from your bumper, and the guy who got replacement bulbs at a cheap garage who didn’t adjust them correctly.
BMWs divert all power from turn signals to the LED headlights.
This is not true.
BMWs do not have turn signals.
Mine does
You killed Chekov with this blinding light.
It’s not the LEDs fault
i put aftermarket leds on my truck back in 2012. they are in no way shape or form too bright
The problem isn’t LED headlights, the problem is wrong light sources in casings they weren’t made for, no proper upper projection cutoff resulting from that.
And the US not enforcing anything about cars, at all, apparently.
Apparently there’ll be a crackdown soon. Here’s hoping.
this is the one and only censored meme that I will upvote
