Tesla Introduces Adaptive Headlights on Model Y, Rolls Out Update to Other Models

Tesla, the leading electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced the introduction of adaptive headlights on its Model Y, with plans to extend the feature to other models through an over-the-air (OTA) software update.

The adaptive headlights, already installed in the Model S, 3, X, and Y, use a grid of LED elements that can individually adjust their brightness and direction. This innovative technology dynamically adjusts based on driving conditions, road curvature, and the presence of other vehicles, providing better illumination on dark roads and reducing glare for other motorists.

The new adaptive headlights technology improves nighttime visibility without blinding other users on the road, making driving safer for everyone. This feature is a significant step forward in Tesla's commitment to safety and innovation.

The Model Y in North America is the first Tesla confirmed to receive adaptive headlights. Tesla plans to roll out this functionality to existing vehicles with compatible hardware through an OTA software update. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has given approval for Tesla to implement adaptive headlights.
