Do the Fisker come with adaptive matrix headligths

No info yet but the headlights look very similar to the headlights that Magna uses that do have Matrix LED's. We'll see.

It should, at least for the top trim levels, and if not it should be possible to ad. I Cant find any info on the headligth technology which is a bit «suspicious» indication its just std LED. I they dont use up to date technology on the headligths where else did they not? Anyone who knows ?

I have heard there is legality issues with adaptive matrix headlights in the US. Also, there may be a cost that puts them out of reach for Fisker. Reviewing the official press release, the headlights are described as "LED with automatic high-beams. The high beams will turn off when it detects an oncoming car." So it looks like the budget version of adaptive headlights... for now.

Congress finally added it to the infrastructure bill last year and the NHTSA approved matrix headlights earlier this year so they are legal now; I think the issue now is that manufacturers are trying to decipher exactly what is legal (it's only a 327 page document so should be cut & dry ).

My Volvo XC60 has adaptive headlights and they physically turn when I move the steering wheel. Pretty cool and useful when driving on curvy roads at night. Matrix headlights can create a "high beam" by turning on/off certain LEDs. They can also change direction using the LEDs without having to physically move. This article explains: LINK

The majority of premium legacy manufacturers(Mercedes, Audi, Porsche) are offering Matrix headlights but with the Matrix part just turned off In the US. All you got was the auto high beams. The headlights could have the functionality and have it active at a later date through an OTA update. Tesla’s newer headlights also have Matrix functionality but it’s just off.

The US finally decide to update it‘s archaic headlight laws recently though.
