Even if there are lights it still makes it harder to see, which is more dangerous.

Slippery slope there. Is all black paint dangerous? Grey?

Black paint that has almost no reflectivity at all certainly is.

My family talks about black cows that your headlamps just don't see and how dangerous they are, this would be even more intense.

Most BMWs don't sit idle taking up two lanes of traffic, they only do that for parking spaces.

All matte paint on cars is dangerous, which I suspect is part of why you almost never see it except as a dodgy repair.

Matte vinyl wraps are common on high end cars in NYC. I see one a week, easy.
