  • I’ve never seen the sensors on mine miss, 2022 vehicle though. In fact my brights sometimes turn off for any red light along the road and reflective signs.

    That said, the LED headlights without the brights on are bright enough and people constantly think the brights are on when they are not. I always think about the brights and am at the ready to manually disable them.

    The headlights themselves are too bright, and there’s no lower lumen off-white options it seems. Just full boar white. It used to be you weren’t allowed to install headlights this bright, but then billionaires paid and lobbied for rules to allow a pass if the vehicles rolled off the lot with them, and 20 years later… here we are. Not even sure the old rule still exists in any form.

    Ok those rooms are certainly illusions. My mind was tricked and even after reading how they work I still cannot quite see how when I watch the video. A perfect illusion.

    I still wouldn’t call the post for this thread an illusion as there is no trick, just pure perspective. You simply tilt your phone, you see what is happening, and you understand it because its basic physics you were taught in elementary.

    This is like the amateur magician. A trickster that knows a few party tricks but is so bad at executing them they are no illusionist. But a master magician uses simple things like perspective and skill to create tricks that are such great illusions that the scientific mind cannot quite work out what has really just happened even though they know it’s a trick. This post is the amateur magician, the Ames room is the master. Both use perspective but in different ways on different levels.
