Does anybody know if these lights detect and "un-bright" for pedestrians and bicyclists? I know many cars automatically turn the brights off at low speeds where you're more likely to see peds and bikes... but as someone who frequently walks and cycles on or along 40+ MPH roads, I worry what will happen to me when these vehicles start to show up.
Yes, Matrix-LED carves out a little hole in the high beam for you so you won't get blinded but the rest is still bright.
See this 8 year old video for explanation

How do your headlights know the thing on the side of the road is a pedestrian or bike and not a deer (or as someone else mentioned, a kangaroo)? Animals on the road should be clearly illuminated but pedestrians shouldn't be blinded.
None of that even acknowledged the existence of non-car road users, let alone provided any confidence that they'd be reliable in a world where teslas regularly try to swerve into cyclists or onto railways.
Well guess what,
It's an technology that's available for 16 years in Europe.
Unlike Tesla we don't dump unsafe beta shit on the road...
Here from another article
"Audi's digital matrix LED headlight design can do that too. It recognizes vehicles and pedestrians in front of the car and adjusts the headlight beam as needed.
Yes, and even worse than my prediction that they'd completely ignore other road and footpath users and blind them indifferently the volkswagen one just flashes the high beams at them intentionally (at least when they aren't misidentified).
Can't wait for this one to start displaying ads when the driver's premium subscription runs out and when it's parked outside my bedroom (personalised by the cameras sending a live feed to audi).
