In my experience, while Tesla is a prime offender, it isn’t only Teslas headlight that are too bright. Honda Prologues are another specific model that blinds me all the time.

While we’re at it, I’m convinced auto-headlights and the general dumbing down of drivers mean a lot of people are simply driving around with their brights on all the time. Don’t know how to fix that one though.

I’ve often thought that we could polarise the headlight glass one way, and then windscreen glass the other. The glare off the road would still hit you but the lights themselves would be much darker, but still enough for you to see they’re there. The day-runners in the corners could still be unpolarised so you’d still see the vehicle. It’d be a bit more expensive and require collaboration between the manufacturers which are probably two large reasons why it would never happen.

I’m sure solving this problem isn’t beyond the wit of humanity, but is beyond the expense threshold that the oligarchs will tolerate from their dividends.
