Add automatic high beams to the list.
They just don't work half as well as when people did it manually.
Before the pandemic, it was rare to get blinded by a person's brights. Now if I drive at night it's just non-stop, and I live in an area with street lighting. (Some of this is also due to after market LEDs and possibly lost driving manners.)
It's extra obnoxious as a pedestrian because at best they get turned off way too late, or frequently not at all.

You mean to say "automatic high beams on Teslas". The ones on our Hyundai Ioniq work just fine, and have never blinded anyone. But in Redmond, WA, Teslas are everywhere and 90% if you're getting beamed, it's a Tesla. Their headlights are, in many cases, improperly aimed out of the factory and their shit auto high beams only make it worse.

It's not just Teslas. It's also hard to take an inventory of each vehicle blinding me because I'm being blinded while still paying attention to everything else.
There's also the issue where most people who use them clearly think they're fine, or they would stop.
Uh... Auto beams made driving definitely more pleasant around here.
On the other hand, extra-bright blue LED headlights compensated for this.
