There's clever! How does it do that?

No idea, but I presume it has something to do with the various video
cameras the car is fitted with. Start the car at night and you can see
the beams move up and down until they find the right position. When I am
driving on the wrong side of the road they also automatically adjust so
as to give the best vision range without dazzling drivers of oncoming
cars or cars on the road ahead, but that feature does not work in the
UK, where I only get conventional dipped or main beam.
