John, Does this combination of LED Lights, Cameras that focuses on the darker
shoulders of the Road at Night the same as the Volvo TV Commercial I saw that
actually rotates the Headlight to follow the Left curving or Right curving
shoulder of the Road ?

Hmm Interesting John !
I recall seeing a TV Commercial by VOLVO, I think, showing a Man, Swedish or
Norwegian, driving up there at Night, on a paved highway along a long curve,
and suddenly his Adaptive Headlights see a REINDEER about to step in front of
him onto the Road. He slows down avoiding striking the Reindeer...

A bit of good news!
This final rule will improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists by making
them more visible at night, and will help prevent crashes by better
illuminating animals and objects in and along the road."

I was blown away when renting a non-luxury car in Scotland in 2017 that this
headlight technology was not already available in the US (only to discover that
the US transportation bureaucracy basically blocked it for years).
