I could have had a new NIcole next month as the lease deal is up, but we get on well so I have decided to keep her :thumbsup:

I'm tempted, KIA-Ora is lovely but she still has warranty and MoT under her belt and I can get back almost what I paid for her five years ago!  eeek:

Other cars must have it too, I've no idea...

When you are in high beam the camera detects oncoming vehicles or tail lights of vehicles you are approaching like my old KIA.

But it has a whole array of LED headlight elements, and can turn them off selectively to avoid blinding other vehicles... So you still have the benefit of 'high beam' illuminating the road ahead with little patches of light turned off... Quite remarkable!

It has completely transformed night-time driving...  cloud9:

I think it's recent and I agree it's brilliant. 
 
Mrs K's car does it but her previous 2019 Rav 4 had the autodip that was complete crap dipping when it shouldn't and not dipping when it should.  My 2017 vintage Merc autodips and gets it right every time but doesn't have that fill in lighting which as you say makes a huge difference.
 
Taxi to airport in Valencia was a Kia-Ora, very impressed how much luggage it took while still having good leg room.  Seemed to be quite rapid despite the immense load.
