I think those are nice features though, did not hear of intelliBeam before, sounds like a nice feature.
The automatic dimming in response to oncoming traffic part of the intelliBeam function was present in my Grandfather's Buick in the late 1950s. The sensor dwelt in a prominent housing on the dashboard. Apparently GM called this arrangement an Autronic Eye, and offered it as an option on a number of their products for some years.
It looks like this:
The dial on the back side of this one identifies it as a late 50s upgraded model, with user-adjustable sensitivity. I don't recall whether Grandpa's model had the dial, but I recall it did mostly work OK.
Much later my wife's 1992 Nissan Quest had the part of the function which automatically turned on the headlights when it got dark enough. That also generally worked. I've not ridden in a car with both functions, yet.
Some might say that a modern car with an ECM chip is more aware and sentient than a living horse.
Then there are others that suggest that cars should have driver breathalysers built-in, forgetting that a sober passenger without a licence could let a drunk driver drive by passing the test themselves.
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

The vehicle is not normally charged in a drunk driving incident. Perhaps if a drunk was piggy-backing on someone who was also drunk???

Then neither are driving a vehicle, then again, a horse is not a vehicle either. Interesting case that would be.

It that would happen a lot then there are solutions to that as well. Probably rather expensive but let's put the bill on those that risk our lives!
