The IIHS is now testing and rating car headlights
I'm the only person who cares about this I'm sure. But I think it's pretty great that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is now giving ratings to vehicles for their headlights. In this initial round of tests, the Toyota Prius takes the cake with an impressive 400+ feet viewing distance using just regular headlights. And this is all without blinding traffic coming in the opposite direction (the new tests account for that measurement as well).
