US regulators prepare overhaul of car headlight rules

Original: Feds get ready to rewrite car headlight rules

Federal regulators in the United States are preparing to rewrite the rules governing car headlights, according to Ars Technica. Current US standards have long lagged behind those in Europe and Asia, where adaptive beam technology that dims high beams for oncoming traffic while keeping roads lit is widely allowed. A rewrite could open the door to smarter headlight systems in American vehicles, and drivers and safety advocates are weighing in.

Why now: US headlight standards are outdated compared with international rules, so a federal rewrite affects automakers and drivers alike.
