Chrome’s century-long reign as that added bit of flash and glamour on new cars may be coming to an end. At least at one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.
The US feds recently approved automatically adjusting headlamps that point down at the road, so hopefully the current nonsense will get better. Europe has had these for a while.
I’m in Europe and I still get blinded by modern SUVs with LED headlights constantly, having auto levelling headlights is nice and all but when the headlights themselves are at eye level for drivers in anything lower than a landrover it doesn’t change much
Now we’ve got those stupidly bright headlights instead.

Which will make cars even more expensive… unlike making them smaller, lower and more fuel efficient… But who cares about all that right?
You know we can make cars smaller and more fuel efficient and give them safer headlights, right? It’s not an either/or situation.
