FWIW, the DOT lighting code ends up about 46 pages long, and defines some things like requiring a high/low beam indication and control to the driver, and specific light positions, heights, illumination levels, and beam patterns. The full adaptive system needs LOTS of things to be modified in the codes before they would be legal for use in the USA. It would be nice if they moved faster than a glacier, or if they allowed cross-certification as in, if it's legal in say the EuroZone, it would be legal in the USA as well. They've been talking about that for years, but it has not happened...trying to get rid of or usurp some authority of a government agency is really hard to do!
