I just learned headlight technology in new European cars is insane. Literally selectively blocks out light to incoming cars. So you can see the road at night and not blind people.
It’s not something that’s been allowed in the US until very recently. Auto on/off high beams have been a thing for decades, but the selective dimming/“tunneling” only just recently became legal within the past couple of years in the US.

It’s not an European exclusive, I once rented a Mazda CX30 that did that

My 2015MY has that as an option. It’s slick. I didn’t know it was available when I bought used but it’s a (€2500) DIY retrofit.
