headlights

In a car, light from the headlights is reflected back at the driver.

The deer is a mere pair of one inch eyes glowing in your headlights, while the billboard is seventy five feet of glowing red and white.

When the headlights turn on when you're in a garage or tunnel, they can create enough ambient light to trick the sensor into thinking it's light, and turning the headlights off.

If you're not, you're going to give me a deer-in-headlights look or worse, try to bullshit me.

In her summer holiday before starting university she worked in a factory in the UK for minimum wage assembling car headlights.

It's a deer in the headlights moment, except instead of being in an instant it's experienced over the course of days/months/years.

Do you get stuck in the headlights or do you dive out of the way of the truck coming at you?

Any evaluation of retroreflective safety features should start with a short overview of what retroreflectivity cannot do: improve visibility, when the object is not within the light cone of the observer's headlights.

A common example I've seen used is: Automatic headlights on a car turning on in the dark.

Camera based detection systems track and detect based on vehicle headlights at night.

I doubt the relays that control the headlights are even capable of switching at the required frequency...

Perhaps there's some psychological trigger I've inadvertently hit, and they've turned into rabbits in the headlights.

“They seem like deer in the headlights.” They were arguably asking the wrong person.

It's like a car manufacturer selling you a car with a "feature" that takes away 50 HP to play a jingle every time you turn on your headlights, all because the got paid $7.34 by the jingle manufacturer.

I like the problem of "you are travelling at 0.75c and you turn on your headlights, how fast do you see the photons travelling and how fast does a stationary observer see the photons travelling?" better.
