This is the conclusion of experts at the National Institute of Traffic Safety IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) after a study lasting many years. In all tests to assess the safety of car headlights in 2016, only two received the "Good" title from the IIHS. By 2018, that number jumped to 32. According to the agency's regulations, "Good" is the highest title. In addition, 58 other vehicles have received "acceptable" ratings in the headlights category.
After passing the test each vehicle, the results and then on the evaluation board, which IIHS "accidentally" found that it is the technology of the headlights as well as of course is only equipped on the model. Luxury and expensive cars. Many automakers install LEDs for the highest-end models of their models, but in the lower versions only traditional halogen lamps are available.
IIHS research shows that LED technology improves the visibility of the driver during nighttime operation by twice the halogen. This is really a serious matter, typically when you are running at speeds of nearly 90 km / h in the countryside at night. Buffalos will not look at you as they cross the street, but you can see them if the lights are good enough and brakes before the worst situations can happen.
The same type of car, but the test results are very different in different versions. The problem with the customers is that in order to have more options that are specific to the headlight technology, they have to spend more money. Today, when ABS brakes, airbags or even the Auto Emergency Braking (AEB) system is almost a mandatory standard, why do not you have any rules for your home? Do car manufacturers have the best and safest headlamps on the models they sell?
Hopefully, through such tidbits, new standards will be put in place to solve the problem, making traffic on the road safer.
