US regulations are really hampering the auto industry's ability to evolve lighting on their vehicles to match technology.
Audi has an adaptive LED headlamp system in Europe right now that has an array of 20 LED lamps that will automatically shut off where it senses it is shining on another vehicle or person while maintaining a constant state of high beams elsewhere. But that technology is banned in the US, because it doesn't illuminate evenly. The US has also banned the sequential turn indicators on 2016 Audi A4s because at the onset of the indication, not enough LEDs are lit to satisfy industry standards (the indicators have a series of 8 amber LEDs that light up to indicate direction of intended turn).
Yeah, the US is stupid like that.
