They are a safety hazard, and unless they consistently operate headlamps in accord with rhe applicable local law [0], using them already is illegal.

A human driver will see the headlights coming and turn their high-beams down preemptively.
Its doubly shitty because cars outfitted with auto high-beams typically have those high intensity lamps too. Ugh.
