All these fancy adaptive things will just lead to more issues in the future. I've had 3 cars with auto headlights and my parents have a 3 series with the high beam assist. Not a single one has lasted the distance. They all start fine initially but after a year or two they start to turn on for no reason, don't turn off when they should or not turn on when they should. At least in my golf they replaced the sensor. With the other 3 BMWs they just say it works and refuse to fix it under warranty when there clearly are issues. I'm happy I don't have high beam assist. Whenever I drive my parents car and I need to turn on the high beams I need to click it twice to turn it on because even on a pitch black road it won't turn on the high beams automatically at all. It's rubbish...
