Auto high-beams is absolutely allowed in the US and common on new cars. I've had a couple cars with this feature.

My current car has auto high beams. Beam shaping is different technology, rather than a boolean operation, it allows the computer to turn off specific LEDs that are pointed at oncoming traffic, leaving the road ahead of you fully illuminated without blinding oncomming traffic

The GP specifically referred to a vehicle that would "turn your high beams off"
