Tesla's can "see" humans, cyclists, cars, etc, independent of the headlights.

It's possible that this awareness is what's used as input for the matrix headlights. Either entirely, or in coordination with detecting oncoming headlights.

I'm confused about your mention of technical solutions. What would a non-technical solution look like?

Something like ensuring that headlights are lower. I'm not against technical improvements, but I think that simple, less error-prone improvements should be given higher priority.

If the headlights can see you, you can see the headlights.

I don't think it is that smart - matrix headlamps have been around for ages in "dumb" (albeit luxury) cars for years and years in europe

And they are awful, a significant number do not detect my (old) car, let alone pedestrians, cyclists and horses
