Safety features like those glaring projector headlamps that blind other drivers.

I am grateful I am now retired and not driving when it is dark @Tempest332 . My Eye Doctor had "tried" to push the NO GLARE lenses for my glasses. Told him, NO sale = I no longer drive at night and they do NOT help....  🙄

Other than the Auto dimming mirror, one other feature I miss I had on my high end Early/mid '90's beaters was the HUD (Head Up Display), which projects your speed & basic dash functions on the lower windshield, thought this should be on EVERY vehicle for safety, but somehow it disappeared in favor of large touch screens.

I was tempted to go for the non glare coating, though they get smudgy. I seldom go out in daylight & probably 75% of what little driving I do is in light hours (my drive to work).  I miss my tinted glass in the car, not for daylight hours but to combat the glaring projector lamps of SUV's.
