I began using my auto high beams a month or so ago. It's okay, but I find it to be in too much of a hurry to dim the lights when the in-car sensors see oncoming headlights, or even if the sensors get too much reflection from road signs and markers. Then the computer waits too long to kick the high beams back on again.
So we need an adjustability setting, to make the headlights stay on high beam longer before dimming, and to have them snap back to high beam sooner after the oncoming headlights have passed.
I think a scale of sensitivity of 0-7 sounds about right, and I've come up with some names for each setting.
0- OEM settings
1- Strict by the book excellent driver
2 - Little old lady, but an aggressive Bingo player
3- 20-something college students
4- Stay at home soccer moms with 4 screaming kids in the back seat
5- Fat divorced middle aged cigar smoking businessman who wears sunglasses to drive in his 911 Carrera
6- Typical highway ignoramus driving like an idiot
7- Raging Cokehead A$$hole
Level 7 doesn't dim the high beams for anything less bright than an ambulance or fire truck coming by in the other direction with its lights and siren going.
I think this is a good idea!
