    the LED light can be directed way more accurately

    This only works on flat roads. Where I am, this results in what looks like the driver behind you rapidly flicking their high beams on and off every time you go over a one foot hump in the road. It’s possibly worse than just having it be consistently too bright.

      I agree, but bumpy roads like that are annoying disregarding what headlights are used.
      We have roads that have bumps to slow traffic, and THAT is annoying IMO. Not that I can figure out a much better solution, so I guess we have to live with it, but it’s still annoying to be blinded by a car half a kilometer away because there’s a bump is super annoying.
      I guess that at some point the cars will be able to prevent it automatically, Matrix light technology should definitely be able to in theory.

        It happens on rolling hills too, which aren’t very annoying on their own. And sure it might be possible to fix this issue in the future, but currently headlights assuming down = bright is an issue.
