Anybody can design their car to pass a lab test but not everyone can engineer a car to be safe in the real world.
But thanks for that anyways.

this is retarded, so basically it just is an automatic highbeam.... i mean are you effing kidding me
"In addition, the system helps relieve the burden on car drivers: since it is no longer necessary to operate the lever on the steering column, full concentration can be given to driving. Once activated, the adaptive high-beam assistant will always automatically provide the optimum headlamp range."
talk about lazy. now i do think 1st gen afs and bi-xenons are cool, so are infared hud's

Are windsheild wipers "for the lazy" as well? You're right, wipe that window yourself!
It's a safety feature, and a great innovation from those prized German engineers.
