US to overhaul outdated car headlight regulations

The US government is preparing to rewrite federal headlight regulations, which have lagged behind other countries due to a lengthy update process. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration aims to modernize standards to improve safety and reduce glare, allowing automakers to deploy advanced lighting technologies. Current rules only permit basic high- and low-beams, while other nations have adopted adaptive systems using lasers and LED pixels. The update process will involve key stakeholders to streamline regulations and foster innovation.
