Audi’s new Q9 headlights use 25,600 tiny LEDs to stop blinding other drivers

Six in 10 drivers say headlight glare is a problem after dark, and nearly three-quarters of those affected believe it has worsened over the past decade, according to a survey done by AAA in February 2026. Among those who experience glare, 92% identify oncoming headlights as the primary cause, and about one-third of respondents report being blinded by glare reflected in their rearview or side mirrors.
