We need the episode about headlights

Because of the writer strike John scrapped doing an episode about the history , money behind and hopefully the what we can do to fix the blinding headlights that cause accidents on a regular basis and I feel like it’s an important topic we don’t pay attention to enough

Agreed. There is incredible tech available around the world we just don't have access to, for no good reason. The school bus I drive every day for work is limited by regulation to the same round headlights once standard in all road vehicles-- and to be clear, they are incredibly dim. Then we somehow have non-commercial vehicles on the road with LED headlights capable of (near) temporary blindness. There is a middle ground available in adaptive headlight systems.
