I’ve seen lots of incidental reports from folks saying auto high beams are dramatically improved recently (I think from .40 on?), but having just come from 36.20 to 44.25.5, I’m not seeing it. At all.
I do agree the behavior is different — I think it’s being more respectful of other traffic and turning the high beams off earlier and more reliably. But I traveled a dark country road last night with no traffic, and they were toggling between low and high every 5-10 seconds with zero traffic around. It’s hard to say what was causing them to go low, but if I had to guess, it was signage reflections. Aggravating at best, dangerous at worst.
Anyone else having this experience? It’s hilarious that I’m jealous of the great auto high beams in my partner’s Ford.
