Something I have noticed in urban areas is that it is very difficult to see pedestrians that are walking in front of vehicles with these extremely bright headlights. For example, when turning left and there are people walking across the street that I am turning on to in front of another vehicle. I feel like it has something to do with the PWM of the LED lamps + the brightness and color?

there's no way this is what the production version will look like. US still requires side-view mirrors, for instance.

I'm not suggesting or implying this is happening in the chicken industry but an oligopoly that is colluding can act as a monopoly.
