>Also, their original solution did sensor fusion with LIDAR, but the vendor find out and blew a gasket - because the LIDAR sensors weren't designed for safety-critical operation and to my understanding became a potential liability for the maker if they continued to supply them for incorrect use knowingly. When did Tesla have LIDAR?

My bad, it was RADAR, not LIDAR, with Musk explicitly saying how it was better because unlike optical systems it wasn't blocked by bad weather so much. I unfortunately don't have link about supplier dropping them - I do recall it was a bit of a scandal at the time but it quickly got overshadowed with other issues and well, FSD not working right was "business as usual"

Wrong. You’re thinking of tesla dropping mobileye back in like 2014. Nothing to do with ditching radar last year

I'm in Canada and any discussion I have everyone agrees how every damn car now has blindingly bright headlights. It's not the bluish ones it's pure white lights they're incredibly bright. Someone dropped the ball on the regulations for modern headlights. My cousin got a new truck and he said everyone now flashes their lights at him but his lights are on low. His previous truck was fine but this new model is terrible.…

That's because the headlights got ever smaller, they are now point sources that output as much power (or more) than previous generations but from a much smaller spot. The fact that it is all direct light now rather than indirect via mirrors also doesn't help, that means you're looking straight at the lightsource instead of at a reflection across a much wider area. There is some talk about regulating minimum projected…

I think what would help would be some way to turn down the brightness of the headlights that could be calibrated at the shop when you get tires rotated.

Set some rules for how bright lights are allowed to be.
