Many modern vehicles have a camera on the window behind the rear view mirror that is used for the government mandated (US/Canada, many parts of the EU I assume) autonomous emergency braking system. This camera is also used to turn the auto high beams on and off, depending on if it detects headlights or taillights from other vehicles. Apparently street lights will cause the system to turn them off as well. Pedestrians and cyclists, RIP. I don't drive very much at night (not once with my new truck in a month and half), so I don't know how well it works in practice. Won't know until I go out at night and try, likely not till late October when sunrise/sunset gets earlier. From what other people say some of these auto high beam systems work better than others.
