I am routinely blinded by the LED headlights on modern cars. They are too white, too bright, and too small (forming a pinpoint bright light which creates terrible glare). They also don't seem to be aimed at the road but straight ahead. You can tell at a glance which cars are older and still have halogen bulb headlights because they are a bit yellow in color and don't create nearly as much glare. I don't know how these newer headlight systems were permitted. They are probably great for the driver but not for any oncoming traffic.
They also don't seem to be aimed at the road but straight ahead.
In my opinion, DOT standards allow too much light above the cutoff. It's great for illuminating overhead signs, but with modern HID and LED systems it's just too much.
There is still the problem of vehicles approaching each other while cresting a small hill. You'll always be under each other's beam cutoff.
Your best hope is adaptive headlights that simply don't illuminate areas where oncoming road users are. Jump up 1:14 in this video:
John Oliver claimed that they ran out of time one season but were going to do an episode on those headlights. I'm still sad they didn't get to it, or at least just dump their source material because I also think it's become terrible
