It also will switch the high-beams back on again automatically when the road is clear in front of the car. The system operates via a light-sensing metal oxide semiconductor, mounted onto a tiny camera that peers through the windshield searching for light sources in front of the car.
Is this technology really necessary? It could be a little annoying for both the driver and the other guy getting momentarily high-beamed.
