The selective disabling thing works in the lab according to some tolerances. On the road they are a nuisance, simple as that. Eyes are sensitive and those things don't work anywhere near as well as they should.

They work just fine. I can always notice them working for my car and other's cars.

Exactly. Noticing them working is very distracting. There simply shouldn't be the possibility of having such a bright light aimed directly at you from oncoming vehicles ever.

How do you suppose someone drive without being able to look far enough?
Next thing you'll say everyone should be driving below 100 at night.
And, no, you're 100% wrong. Just because I notice doesn't mean I get blinded and then it turns down. Even a car coming into view 1km far, both cars turn it down.
Every single time I had light blinding my eyes, it was from an older model car with manual adjust headlights.
