Perfection (Casey Novak x Alex Cabot)

A/N: Another day, another Calex fic :p But I am thinking of writing more than just Calex; what do you guys think?🤔 I have an idea for an Alex x reader fic that I want to make beautifully devastating and angsty, but it will probably be a bit lengthy, so stay tuned!

Warnings: 18+/ NSFW content ahead! Also brief-ish depictions of a fictional SVU case.

Word Count: 2.7k

Summary: Alex has always prided herself on maintaining her image of polished perfection, but with Casey, can she feel free to be herself?

Alex and Casey have been together for slightly over two months. And Alex is whipped.

Alex adores everything Casey does and still can’t quite get over how lucky she feels. Every day is a dream, and she never wants to wake up. Alexandra Cabot never imagined herself to be one to gush over anyone like a schoolgirl, but with Casey, all preconceived notions of what she wanted or what she deemed as reasonable behavior were thrown out the window.

Since they made things official, the couple has spent nearly every day (and many intimate nights) together. However, because both ADAs are swamped with complex, onerous cases, the pair have gone an entire week without being with one another for a meaningful amount of time. The most time that they’d share would be crossing paths in the D.A.’s office or quick, shared lunches.

The time apart was driving Alex mad.

She wondered how someone could become such a large, integral part of her life in such a short time. Alex had been trained to be pragmatic, strategic, and direct all her life. However, managing these feelings for the redheaded ADA is everything Alex has virtually zero experience with; as Alex soon realized, romantic attraction is practically the antithesis of pragmatic, strategic, and direct. She wasn’t used to being on the receiving end of such visceral, intense, unconditional infatuation.

Sure, Alex had been hit on and chased after in the past, but such advances only made her uncomfortable and caused her to scoff internally in disgust. Yet, strangely enough, with Casey, she felt content with allowing herself to open up and slowly began to embrace being loved.

It was a Friday night, and Alex was alone in her home office reviewing her closing speech for court tomorrow. Alex has been incessantly trying to perfect the delivery and impact of her argument.

Alex cared about this case the slightest bit more than previous ones. A schizophrenic man assaulted his girlfriend after being off his medication. The victim, Carrie, was in an immense state of denial and wanted to protect her boyfriend, Carson.

Carrie’s response was a mixture of fear of Carson and partial belief that Carson hadn’t done anything wrong. After assuring her that the days of coverture were long gone, Carrie started cooperating with the detectives.

Alex was very impassioned by this case. She wanted to ensure Carrie got justice while also handling the nuances of Carson’s mental health issues delicately. She was so determined to handle this situation as perfectly as possible because this case reminded her of Casey’s relationship with her schizophrenic ex-boyfriend, Charlie.

Alex was the one to be there for Casey when things with Charlie reached their climax a few years ago. Alex was the shoulder for Casey to cry on. Alex helped Casey heal.

It broke Alex’s heart to see the strong-witted, stubborn, sharp ADA reduced to an uncharacteristically insecure, shaken, and vulnerable mess.

At the time, Alex told herself that feeling so invested in Casey’s love life was normal and platonic.

She thought it was perfectly appropriate to feel so profoundly empathetic about her friend’s relationship to the point that Alex would spend several nights embracing Casey so tightly while the redhead slept that Alex could hear her breathing. She thought it was analogously appropriate to feel a slight bloom of warmth within herself whenever Casey would give Alex a slight squeeze in her sleep.

Of course, in hindsight, Alex knows her feelings for Casey were never truly platonic, but she never allowed herself to acknowledge that to prevent herself from getting hurt. It wasn’t until Casey kissed her during a movie night in Alex’s brownstone that she could even consider the possibility that Casey was attracted to her.

Just as Alex was fondly thinking about their first kiss, a sharp knock snapped her back to reality.

After the mild shock from the noise wore off, confusion took its place. No one ever comes to visit Alex. Well, no one besides-

“Allleeex, it’s me!” A cheerful, familiar voice called from the other side of the door.

With great haste, Alex got up and opened the door to reveal the redhead that was just occupying her mind.

“Hey, you,” Alex said, with a smile gracing her face. “What’re you doing here? I thought you needed to prep for court,” she asked as she ushered her lover inside.

“I decided I needed a break. I'm in desperate need of an ‘Alex-fix’ ,” Casey answered cheekily as she turned to face the blonde and leaned into her. She wrapped her arms around Alex’s neck, idly playing with the loose hairs that had gradually escaped Alex’s once-tight ponytail.

“And by the looks of it,” Casey started while turning her head to face the direction of Alex’s office, “you could use one too,” she said as she turned to face her lover once more, pressing a kiss to her lips.

Alex melted into the embrace and realized just how much she missed being around Casey.

Casey deepened the kiss and dipped her hands to rest at Alex’s waist. Alex sighed into the kiss before pulling away. “Casey, I really need to finish preparing for tomorrow.”

In response, Casey groaned hyperbolically before leaning forward once more to fling her arms around Alex’s shoulders, embracing Alex in a hug. She then quickly transferred her weight to push into Alex, essentially going limp around her lover’s shoulders.

Alex smiled at Casey’s dramatics and adjusted to support her weight. Alex then led them both to her couch. As soon as the blonde sat, Casey climbed on top of her, knees pressing into the cushions on either side of Alex's thighs, and draped herself over her like a warm, petulant blanket.

"Casey," Alex sighed, exasperated but not really annoyed. She tried to shift, but Casey's arms hung limply around her shoulders, a deliberate, heavy weight that kept her pinned in place.

"You put too much pressure on yourself, baby," Casey hummed. Though it’s not the first time Casey has called her that pet name, it still sent Alex reeling. “Plus, I have seriously been missing my Alex time."

Though she knew how much she’d been missing Casey as well, Alex really needed to practice more in order to feel confident in court.

Alex huffed, her hands hovering awkwardly in the air as she debated whether to push Casey off or give in to her antics. "Casey, you know I have court in the morning," she reminded her, voice firm but lacking real bite.

"And I have a girlfriend who's been neglecting me," Casey countered, pressing a quick, teasing kiss to Alex's jaw. "Guess which one of those feels more urgent right now?"

Alex sighed again, but this time, her hands settled on Casey's waist. "You're impossible," she muttered, though her fingers betrayed her, tracing small, absentminded circles against Casey's back.

Casey proceeded to plant kisses down Alex’s neck until she decided on returning to Alex’s lips. Casey kissed Alex with such fervor that made the blonde’s head spin. Casey slipped her tongue into Alex’s mouth, making her let out a mixture of a grunt and a moan.

Once again, Alex pulled away, contemplation written all over her face. Reading her mind, Casey said, “Alex, you need a break, and I guarantee you already have that entire speech memorized.”

It’s true; Alex already knew what she wanted to say and precisely how she wanted to say it. Most ADAs would’ve stopped and called it a night. But Alex, sometimes to a fault, was not like most ADAs; she needed to be perfect. She couldn’t let Carrie down, she couldn’t jeopardize the opportunity to get Carson help appropriately, she couldn’t-

“Please, baby,” Casey muttered against the skin of Alex’s neck, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Just let me take care of you.” And with that, Alex surrendered. How could she say no to a request like that?

Alex gave Casey a slight nod of her head, which prompted the enthusiastic redhead to gently tug Alex’s top off. Casey was met with a simple black bra that deliciously hugged the perfect peaks of Alex’s chest. The sight made Casey salivate.

She reached behind Alex to unclip the garment then proceeded to gently cup her breasts, admiring how the weight of them felt in her hands. Casey then rubbed her thumbs against her pebbling nipples; she loved watching Alex’s body react to her touch.

In an instant, Casey’s lips were on Alex’s skin once more, hastily kissing and sucking every inch of exposed flesh. Casey was touching and kissing Alex as though she was trying to perfectly map out every dip and curve of her lover.

“Lie down for me, baby,” Casey said as she climbed off of Alex. Alex complied by lying down with her head aligned with the couch’s armrest, shakily breathing with anticipation. No matter how many times the pair makes love, Alex will always feel a spur of excitement when she sees that hungry look in Casey’s eyes.

Casey lowers herself and reaches for the waistband of Alex’s pants. Then suddenly-

It hit her.

Alex remembered she hadn’t shaved.

Alex is always sure to be perfect for Casey and is entirely shaved anytime she anticipates sex with her. An old boyfriend of Alex’s told her how gross he thought it was whenever she wasn’t entirely clean-shaven, and ever since, it has been drilled into Alex to stay shaved for Casey in fear she would also think her hair is gross.

However, since they’d both been so busy and Alex wasn’t expecting to see Casey, she hadn’t prepared.

“Wait!” Alex stated a little louder than she intended to. Casey immediately pulled back and looked up at Alex with concern and fear lacing her face.

“Baby, what’s the matter?” Casey said hurriedly. Alex couldn’t decide what would be more embarrassing: letting Casey see her when she was indecent or practically shouting at Casey to stop.

Alex looked down, ashamed, and Casey, growing more worried by the second, asked again, “Alex? Are you okay? Did I do something?”

“No! No, God, no- I just,” Alex began to explain, “I just… haven’t shaved in a while.” Alex mumbled the last part of her sentence so quietly that Casey could hardly make out what she said despite no other noise being present.

“What, baby?” Casey asked with a gentle curiosity.

“I haven’t shaved, Casey. You know… down there,” Alex responded while gesturing towards her groin.

Casey lightly chuckled at the confession. Embarrassment and fear simultaneously ran through Alex’s body. Was she laughing at her?

Alex began to hastily cover herself with her discarded shirt from the ground and get up, but before she could push Casey off, the redhead stopped her with a firm grip on her legs. “Hey! Hey! Baby, hold on,” Casey said with mirth still evident in her voice. “Honey, I’m not laughing at you, I promise,” Casey said, more seriously but still maintaining a reassuring smile.

“I was laughing because it’s funny that you think there’s a problem with you not being shaved.” Casey calmly and earnestly said. Alex looked at Casey as though she had two heads. “Alex, I think you and everything associated with you is perfect. Body hair isn’t going to change that perception, silly.”

Still slightly red with embarrassment from the entire exchange, Alex finally made eye contact with Casey. The redhead’s smile widened at her lover’s gaze finally reaching her eyes. “Look, if you are uncomfortable and do not want me to touch you right now, of course I won’t. But if you don’t want me to touch you because you think I have a problem with your hair, please let me assure you, that is not the case.” Casey said with the utmost conviction.

“No, no I- trust me, I definitely want you; I want this,” Alex said while still feeling slightly insecure but more assured than before.

“Yeah?” Casey asked with a cheeky smile and a cheerful tilt to her voice, making it apparent that she was hoping Alex would say that.

“Yeah,” Alex responded, matching Casey’s smile.

With that, Casey propped herself up, planted both hands on either side of Alex’s head, and leaned in to capture her lips in a kiss. Casey then grabbed Alex’s shirt, allowing the garment to retake its place on the ground. It was as though Casey was trying to kiss away any doubt Alex had, and if that was her intention, it was working.

Casey worked her kisses down Alex’s body, and her hands came to rest on Alex’s waistband once again. After receiving a nod from the blonde, Casey gingerly pulled her pants and underwear down her legs and off her body to join Alex’s other clothes on the ground.

Casey was now face to face with Alex’s sex, which was lightly covered in cute, light brown pubic hair. Casey traced the natural flow of her hair in adoration and uttered, “You are absolutely perfect, Alexandra Cabot,” and proceeded to place a kiss on the hair present on her pubis mound. Alex flushed in a combination of fleeting yet ever-present shame, the feeling of being so vulnerable, and mere bashfulness at the compliment.

With her right thumb, Casey spread Alex’s slightly glistening folds, gathered the arousal from her entrance, and began to rub at Alex’s nub of pleasure. Alex let out a quiet whine from the stimulation. “That feel good, baby,” the redhead asked while lowering herself to suckle loving kisses into the flesh of Alex’s inner thigh.

“Yes, Casey,” Alex practically breathed out, the embarrassment from the past ordeal practically nonexistent; how could she be concerned with anything when she had her tantalizingly sexy girlfriend between her legs and touching her in all the right ways?

Casey lowered her right pointer and middle finger to Alex’s entrance, slowly inching their way inside of her. Casey was studying Alex’s face to search for any sign of discomfort to which so found none, in fact, quite the opposite. Alex’s chest bloomed at the thought that Casey was so careful with her and so attentive to ensure she was okay. Her girlfriend’s consideration only turned Alex on more.

Casey then stuck her left thumb up and moved it toward Alex. Getting the hint, Alex opened her mouth to allow Casey to collect her saliva on her digit. With that same thumb, she then started to draw quick, tight circles around Alex’s clit while still pumping mercilessly into her with her right hand.

“I love how you feel wrapped around me, baby,” Casey said adoringly, “This perfect little pussy wrapped around my fingers…” Casey muttered slightly absentmindedly, entirely absorbed in her lover. Alex flushed at the vulgar choice of words and felt the heat within her rise even further.

“Come on, baby- come for me,” Casey said, and that was all Alex needed to come undone around her fingers. With a high-pitched, girlish cry, Alex climaxed and swore she saw stars. Casey gently let her ride out her high before removing her fingers and leaning forward to kiss her girlfriend. Alex started to reach for the hem of Casey’s top so she could begin to undress her very-much-so-still-clothed body. But Casey reached for Alex’s hands, stopping her.

Alex pulled away from the kiss, looking puzzled. She was met with a kind smile from her lover. “Tonight is about me taking care of you, okay?” And before Alex could protest, Casey continued, “Let me run us a bath, order some food, and maybe we can watch a movie, yeah?”

God, what did I do to get so lucky, Alex wonders.

“Yeah, Case, that sounds perfect,” but as Casey stood to make her way toward the bathroom, Alex said, “Thank you, Casey. For everything.”

Casey sat back down next to Alex on the couch and planted a chaste kiss on her lips. “You never have to thank me for loving you.”

With that, she gave another peck to her lover’s lips and started to walk away.

Alex was used to being rigid and careful and calculated. But with Casey, she doesn't have to be the hard-ass, bitchy ADA Cabot. She knows it's more than okay just to be Alex. And knowing that brings more comfort than she’ll ever let the redhead know.

A/N: With every fic, my word count nearly much triples �� at this rate I will be writing 6 million words by my 10th fanfiction!!!!! (I think… I dont know- I’m a social science major, not a math major😓) Also this is not really proofread, sorry!

Resident Evil (4 remake) x Detroit: Become Human AU

I made these arts MONTHS ago and never shared them. There's more I wanna draw for this crossover au but this is what I've got now. I of course came up with elaborate backstories behind everything.

Some AU lore if you're interested:

-on top of what Ashley's stuff says, she was long in development to become the perfect aging child android - something that's never been done before. She is considered an android bioweapon, as they combined robotics with bioengineering, taking DNA from President Graham (his first name is President actually) and infusing it with advanced technology to create Ashley. She is also the most expensive android, for obvious reasons, and was first commissioned by not-then-president President Graham back in 1995. Sherry was meant to be the first successful model, but her development was expedited and hidden by the Doctors Birkin to be their own daughter. Ashley's production was completed in 2000.

-Leon is an LN-200 android. The LN line was created to be an elite operative model of android, meant to integrate with police Android models. However, the entire LN line was discontinued as soon as Leon was released, due to the simultaneous takeover of CyberUmbrella labs by a mass group of mindless androids that killed on sight, and Leon's almost immediate deviation as a result of witnessing this tech-virus outbreak.

-Leon deviated after witnessing the outbreak on his first day - a malicious software virus was transferred to an Android from a CyberUmbrella lab in Raccoon City; that Android transferred it to others, and it kept going, spreading when androids interfaced. The virus shut down all of the androids' programmed objectives and replaced them with the simple objective: "Kill". Androids infected with this virus can only be cured by a very complex antivirus program that is only accessible from certain CyberUmbrella scientists.

-Leon deviated to escape this virus, and met a CR800 android named Claire, who was looking for her brother, another CR800 android called Chris. The two also met the RE200 android, Sherry, who they had to save from an alternate version of the virus that targeted her advanced software specifically. Claire managed to cure her, while Leon ran into a woman who called herself Ada.

-Ada told Leon she was a human, for her safety, as he was a cop android basically, but she's actually an android - specifically an AW900, illegally developed by Albert Wesker, and the only one of her kind. He named her model after his own initials, and calls her simply "AW900", but Ada took the initials and made it her own name - Ada Wong - out of defiance. She was given more freedoms as an android, as wesker had her do all of his dirty work, but she still wasn't deviant. But then she met Leon, and saw how he was deviant, and was surprised by his emotion and how much she wanted it too. She deviated eventually, but when Leon found out she'd lied about being a human, he was angry with her. Her job was to extract the modified virus that had been given to Sherry, so wesker could make Ada immune. Leon didn't want to let Ada take it, but before he can retrieve it, Ada is shot by Dr. Annette Birkin, who wants to get back at Wesker (you can pick any reason why that is. Maybe it's scientist jealousy. Maybe wesker ratted her out for her work on the RE200. Or maybe wesker stole her husband so she's mad which I think would be super funny. Love you Annette). Ada falls, and Leon thinks she's dead, but she escapes - now fully deviant, scared, and lost. She returns to wesker but pretends she isn't deviant, terrified of what he'd do to her if he found out.

-Dr. Luis Serra Navarro was hired by CyberUmbrella to help develop advanced software for androids. However, he realised eventually that the software he was being made to develop was not for new androids, but was in fact being turned into malware meant to attack androids. He knew CyberUmbrella only wanted to do bad things with this, and he attempted to flee with proof, but he was too late, and the virus was released before he could get the word out. Luis went into hiding, knowing that he wouldn't be pardoned for his work, and returned home to Valdelobos, Spain.

-Luis had hoped to help introduce android technology to his home, but he returned to find it taken over by a cult, which he was quickly swept up into under threat of death. He continued developing android software, this time for Saddler, who called it "La Plaga". La Plaga was Saddler's attempt to combine Android software with human genetics, creating half human half Android armies that he could control and program to his will. This was dangerous, bevause he was adding android tech to real people, reverting them to a robot form - the cult called themselves "Los Iluminados", bevause they believed their work to combine humans and androids was enlightened and would bring them closer to God.

-Luis didn't know the extent of Saddler's plan, but he knew Saddler wanted to use the virus to program all androids for control and chaos, death and destruction, so Luis also developed a failsafe - Code "Amber", an antivirus that would immediately render the Plaga virus dormant and (hopefully) reverse its effects. However, Saddler caught onto this and discovered that while the code amber could undo the plaga, it could also magnify it if modified slightly.

-RE400 Ashley was kidnapped in 2004 by Los Iluminados, as once Saddler learned of the first bioengineered android, he wanted to study her code and see how he could morph it with a human. Ashley was supposed to be unable to deviate, but the trauma of being kidnapped caused her to deviate out of self defence.

-After the events of Raccoon City, a now deviated Leon offered to care for Sherry while Claire continued to look for her brother. However, Leon was discovered, as they'd been tracking Sherry, and the government took her away for testing. They threatened to kill her, unless Leon agreed to be reset and reinstated as a special government agent model. Leon agreed to protect Sherry, he was reset, and lost his deviancy. However, he also lost all memories of Sherry, Claire, and Ada, and anyone else he'd met after deviating.

-years later, when President Graham's android daughter is kidnapped, Leon is sent to save her. They tracked her all the way to Spain, but when she deviated, they lost her location. Luckily, they think they lost her location because the cult removed her tracker, or temporarily deactivated her.

-Leon, a machine again, travels to Spain to rescue Ashley. When he arrives, he runs into Dr. Serra, who recognises Leon's model, though he never actually worked on Leon's model. Luis introduces himself, not expecting Leon to know, but Leon runs a scan and discovers that Luis used to work for CyberUmbrella, and is angry with Luis. But Luis proves to be resourceful and charismatic in just the right ways that has Leon trusting him against his will, and eventually even enjoying Luis's company, though he'd never admit it.

-When Leon reaches Ashley, she is at first abrasive, and scared of him. He realises it's because she's deviated. His programming insists he reports her deviation; but seeing her so scared, her face and blonde hair triggering something familial in his memories that he couldn't place, Leon lies to Hunnigan, his handler, and reports Ashley as still a machine. As a result, Leon is able to deviate again - and all at once, all of his memories come rushing back, and he's overwhelmed with emotion. He realises Ashley reminded Leon of Sherry, and he's more passionate about protecting her and bringing her home safe than before, determined to keep Ashley out of the government's control the way he failed to do for Sherry.

-Ada returns, and Leon remembers her now, so he recognises her. He doesn't know what she's doing in Spain, and she doesn't reveal it - but she does look out for him, and Ashley (and Luis), mostly without Leon's knowledge. Ada is able to do many things even the most highly trained covert operative couldn't do.

-Ashley was infected with the plaga, without her knowing, and then Leon was as well when he got captured by Mendéz. Luis still knows how to undo it, so he promises to help them.

-Ada is retrieving the Amber code for the same reason wesker had to her get the antivirus back in Raccoon City - to make herself and any other models wesker works on immune to outside viruses or tampering. However, wesker also plans to use the plaga and the amber to develop his own version of virus - Ada suspects this, but she isn't really in a position to question or go against wesker. However, after meeting and spending time with Luis, Luis shows faith in her, and she gains the courage to separate from wesker.

-Luis is fascinated by Leon (and Ashley, because she's cool, but mostly Leon). He flirts relentlessly, especially when he figures out Leon deviated. Leon tries to pretend it doesn't effect him, but Luis knows what his LED spinning red and yellow means, especially when Leon's is otherwise a constant blue.

-Krauser was a regulated government model of android - an MK model, specifically MK300. His model is not as advanced as Leon's, with Leon being one of a kind, but Krauser had plaga and amber induced advancements that made him stronger than any other model. Krauser hates Luis, because when Luis developed the Code Amber as a failsafe, he caused Krauser's plaga-advancements to malfunction, permanently damaging his vision in his left eye, and making Krauser's transformations spontaneous and uncontrollable. So, when Krauser finds out that Luis is helping Leon - Krauser's old subordinate - Krauser goes for revenge.

-Krauser wants to kill them both, but Luis shields Leon, getting himself stabbed. Leon fights Krauser, Luis shoots him to scare him off, and Leon rushes to Luis, scared as hell to lose him and also angry because Luis can't be replaced but Leon can. However, Luis had been previously given the plaga (and cured himself) so he was able to use some of it to his advantage and stabilise himself until Leon could get him medical help. So, Luis survives :)

-When Ada finds out that Leon and Ashley are both deviant, she tells Leon she's also deviant, but still refuses to tell him anything else. She's hot and he doesn't need to know.

-Leon and Luis grow closer, and by the time they escape the village with Ashley - now cured, thanks to Luis - Leon isn't ready to say goodbye. Luis says he can't go with them, because the us government will never let him back. Leon also knows if Ashley goes back, she could be reset, or deactivated, and Ashley likewise knows this and doesn't want to return. Leon has grown to trust Hunnigan too, and tells her their predicament. She agrees to cover for them for a while so they can escape. So, Leon, Luis, and Ashley disappear.

-Leon will return later - heavily disguised - to see Claire, and Sherry again.

-Leon and Luis obviously fall in love and stay together. Ashley doesn't live with them, but she visits often, and they have their own little family.

-Ada still watches over them from afar, too scared to get emotionally involved. But her friendship with Luis was close enough that she does eventually contact him, and he encourages her to visit them. Ada and Leon still have a weird tense rivalry that Luis doesn't understand, but they all care about each other.

The end (for now)

Why aren't high beam car lights (when incorrectly used) illegal yet?

While high beam misuse is illegal nearly everywhere, enforcement and technical gaps allow the problem to persist. Here's why the issue remains unresolved and where solutions are emerging:

⚖️ Current Legal Status Worldwide

Jurisdiction High Beam Distance Law Penalty Range Enforcement Reality USA Must dim at 500 ft (150m) of oncoming traffic/ 300 ft (90m) behind vehicles $50–$250 fine Rarely ticketed (only 0.7% of citations) EU/UK Must dim at 200m of oncoming traffic €100–£500 Slightly better enforcement (via automated systems) Canada150m rule in most provinces C$100–$300 Low enforcement priority Australia200m of vehicles ahead/approaching AU$330+ High fines but sparse enforcement

🚫 Why Enforcement Fails

Measurement Impossibility:

Officers can't judge 150m/500ft distances accurately at night.

Ephemeral Evidence:

Glare events last seconds – dashcams struggle to capture license plates.

Resource Priorities:

Police focus on speeding/DUI over lighting offenses.

Legal Ambiguity:

Aftermarket HID/LED conversions create "plausible deniability" about beam type.

🔦 Core Technical Challenges

Legacy Standards:

Regulations like US FMVSS 108 (1967) fail to address modern 5,000–12,000lm LED/HID intensity.

Misalignment Epidemic:

31% of US vehicles have improperly aimed headlights (IIHS).

Adaptive Beam Ban (USA):

Outdated 1940s laws block EU-style "matrix beams" that selectively dim parts of high beams.

🌐 Emerging Solutions

1. Automated Enforcement (Pioneered in EU)

Camera-Radar Systems: Fines mailed to drivers who maintain high beams within 200m of others (e.g., Austria's §102.3 enforcement).

Effectiveness: 73% reduction in glare complaints where deployed.

2. Vehicle Tech Advancements

Technology Status How It Solves Misuse ADAS-Integrated Auto-Dimming Available (e.g., Audi, Volvo) Uses cameras/radar to detect taillights or oncoming headlights, automatically dips beams UN Regulation 149 (Adaptive Driving Beams) Mandatory in EU/UK (2022+) Legalized in USA (2024) Projects light around other vehicles (no full dimming needed) On-Board Diagnostics Proposed Cars self-record high-beam duration near other vehicles

3. Stricter Inspections

Germany/TÜV: Headlight alignment and intensity checked at every biennial inspection.

Failure Rate: 18% of vehicles corrected on the spot.

🛠️ What You Can Do Now

Document & Report:

Use dashcams with license plate recognition (e.g., Viofo A139 Pro) → submit footage to police.

Demand Law Updates:

Support bills like US HR 5739 (Modernize Auto Lighting Standards Act).

Self-Protection:

Install auto-dimming mirrors (e.g., Gentex) reducing glare by 80%.

Use polarized yellow night driving glasses (e.g., Nemesis 801YC).

🔮 Future Outlook

2027+: With ADB adoption, misused high beams could drop by 65% (NHTSA estimates).

Critical Step: Universal automated glare enforcement systems – trials in BC (Canada) and Oslo show promise.

Until then: High beams remain a "free-to-abuse" system due to enforcement gaps, not lack of laws. Real change requires upgrading century-old traffic policing models.**

How to Choose the Right Auto Glass Shop for Windshield Replacement in Mississauga?

When it comes to windshield replacement, choosing the right auto glass shop can make all the difference. After all, your windshield plays a crucial role in the safety and integrity of your vehicle. A poorly installed windshield can compromise your visibility and, in the worst-case scenario, even affect your airbag deployment during an accident. So, how do you choose the best auto glass shop to handle your windshield replacement? Let's walk through the essential factors to consider.

1. Look for Experience and Expertise

One of the first things to check when choosing an auto glass shop for windshield replacement in Mississauga is their level of experience. A shop with years of experience in the industry is more likely to have skilled technicians who can handle all types of windshield replacements, from basic repairs to more complex installations. Whether it’s a small chip or a major crack, you want to be sure that the shop is equipped with the right knowledge and tools.

Experienced shops also have the expertise to work with the latest vehicle technologies. Modern cars often come with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as lane assist and rain sensors, which need to be calibrated correctly during windshield replacement. Make sure the auto glass shop you choose is familiar with these technologies.

2. Check Reviews and Reputation

A reputable shop will have plenty of positive reviews from satisfied customers. Check online reviews, especially on trusted platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook, to see what other Mississauga drivers are saying about the shop’s service. Look for comments on the quality of their work, the professionalism of their staff, and how well they handle insurance claims.

Word of mouth can also be a good indicator of reliability. Ask friends, family, or coworkers in Mississauga if they have any recommendations for windshield replacement. If a shop is well-known for delivering excellent service, you’ll likely hear about it from others.

3. Ask About Insurance Coverage

Insurance coverage is another important factor when choosing an auto glass shop. Many insurance companies offer coverage for windshield replacement, but the process can sometimes be a bit tricky. Some shops may work directly with insurance providers, making the process easier for you. Others may require you to pay out of pocket and then reimburse you later.

Before committing to a shop, find out whether they accept your insurance and if they offer any assistance with filing claims. A good auto glass shop will help you navigate the insurance process and ensure that the paperwork is taken care of smoothly. For Mississauga drivers, this can save a lot of time and hassle.

4. Quality of Materials Used

Not all auto glass is created equal. While some shops may offer lower prices, they might use subpar glass or adhesives that don’t meet the industry standards. When choosing an auto glass shop for windshield replacement in Mississauga, ask what materials they use. High-quality, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass is always the best option for ensuring the durability and safety of your new windshield.

Using aftermarket glass may be more affordable, but it can sometimes be of lower quality and may not fit your vehicle as precisely. While aftermarket glass is acceptable in some cases, it’s always a good idea to ask the shop about the materials they use to make sure you’re getting the best possible option for your vehicle.

5. Mobile Services for Convenience

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key. Many people in Mississauga lead busy lives and don’t have the time to visit an auto glass shop. If this sounds like you, look for a shop that offers mobile windshield replacement services. A mobile auto glass service can come to your location, whether it’s at home or at work, to replace your windshield on the spot.

This added level of convenience allows you to get your windshield replaced without disrupting your day. It’s a great option for people with tight schedules or for those who can’t drive their vehicles to a shop with a damaged windshield.

6. Warranty and Customer Service

A trustworthy auto glass shop will stand behind their work, offering a warranty on both the glass and the installation. Before you make a final decision, ask about the warranty coverage. A solid warranty can provide you with peace of mind, knowing that the shop will take care of any issues that arise with your windshield replacement.

Additionally, customer service is an essential factor to consider. Choose a shop that values customer satisfaction and is transparent about the process. The staff should be friendly, professional, and willing to answer any questions you have about the replacement process.

7. Cost Transparency

While cost should not be the only deciding factor, it’s still important to understand what you’ll be paying for. A reputable auto glass shop will provide a clear, transparent estimate for your windshield replacement, without hidden fees or surprise charges. They should be able to give you a detailed breakdown of the costs, including the price of materials, labor, and any additional services like mobile replacement.

Comparing quotes from a few different shops in Mississauga can help you ensure you’re getting a fair price. Keep in mind that the cheapest option may not always be the best one, especially if it means sacrificing quality.

8. Look for Local Expertise

Choosing a local auto glass shop in Mississauga has several advantages. A local shop will be familiar with the specific needs of drivers in the area and may offer faster service due to their proximity. Local businesses often care deeply about their community reputation, so they’re likely to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.

By choosing a local shop, you’re also supporting small businesses in the Mississauga area, which helps to strengthen the community.

Choose Wisely for a Safe, Quality Windshield Replacement

When it comes to windshield replacement in Mississauga, taking the time to research and choose the right auto glass shop will pay off in the long run. Look for experience, positive reviews, quality materials, and good customer service. A trustworthy shop will offer transparent pricing, insurance assistance, and reliable warranties.

On Thursday, September 7, Secretary Xavier Becerra announced that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had proposed updates to its Section 504 regulations. These updates are a major opportunity to protect the rights of disabled people and ensure we can access health care and vital services without discrimination. ASAN is glad to see HHS take this important step, and we look forward to ensuring the final regulations are as comprehensive and effective as possible.

Before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) existed, people with disabilities relied on Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) to defend ourselves from discrimination in federal programs. Section 504 put the disability rights movement on the path to passing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and is still a critical tool for disability rights. Section 504 applies to all federal programs, and any other program receiving federal funds. If a program is run by the federal government, or takes federal money, it isn’t supposed to discriminate against people with disabilities. For example, almost all hospitals use federal money. If a hospital discriminates against a person with a disability, we can use Section 504 to defend that person’s rights.

Even though Section 504 is an important tool, the regulations have not been updated since they were first implemented in 1977.  The world has changed a lot since 1977. Secretary Becerra acknowledged that these updates are “long overdue.” Disability rights advocates have pushed the Biden administration to make updating the 504 regulations a top priority since the beginning of the administration. As Secretary Becerra said, “No one should be left on the sidelines when it comes to living life.” This is something the Administration can do without Congress, and it will directly improve many people’s lives. 

The updates talk about many things important to the disability community, including:

Disability discrimination in health care settings

Discrimination against disabled people who need organ transplants or life-saving care

Measuring the value of treatment without discriminating against disabled people who can never be “cured”

Accessible medical equipment

Accessible communication in health care settings

Discrimination against people with disabilities by the child welfare system

Community integration

And much more.

The process for updating regulations is long, complicated, and slow-moving. This is especially true for Section 504, because it applies to all federal programs and any program receiving federal funds. The proposed regulations are 400 pages long. Over the coming days, ASAN looks forward to closely reading the draft regulations and preparing thoughtful comments. We stand ready to assist HHS to ensure that the final regulations are as comprehensive as possible and make a real difference to people with disabilities.  We are still waiting for other federal agencies to release their own updates; we hope to see those soon. And we look forward to holding the administration accountable to its statement that “Once we enact this rule, we intend to enforce it.”

For more information on ASAN and Section 504, please contact ASAN’s Director of Advocacy, Zoe Gross, at zgross@autisticadvocacy.org. 

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to advance the principles of the disability rights movement with regard to autism. ASAN believes that the goal of autism advocacy should be a world in which autistic people enjoy equal access, rights, and opportunities. We work to empower autistic people across the world to take control of our own lives and the future of our common community, and seek to organize the autistic community to ensure our voices are heard in the national conversation about us. Nothing About Us, Without Us!

Why Do We Need AI-MDVR with BSD and 360-Degree Panoramic View for Vehicle Surveillance?

The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) function not only serves as a means to record video evidence in the event of accidents caused by blind spots, but also helps to mitigate the risk of such accidents occurring in the first place.

Click to Blind spot monitor Wiki

Auxiliary effects on driver’s decision.

Upon activation of the vehicle's turn signal (left or right), the MDVR system automatically switches to the Blind Spot Detection (BSD) channel, displaying live video footage on a full 7-inch screen. This functionality is made possible through an I/O sensor that is connected to the vehicle's signal line during the initial MDVR installation, allowing for seamless triggering of the BSD channel.

As a result, the driver can immediately view the blind spot area on the display to check for any moving pedestrians or vehicles before making a turning maneuver, allowing for a more informed and safer driving decision.

Warning effect on pedestrians:

If a person or vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the BSD system will instantly trigger an audible alarm and flashing warning, alerting the driver to potential danger. Simultaneously, the warning also serves as an advance notification to pedestrians or vehicles in the blind spot, enabling them to take evasive action and avoid accidents that may result from the vehicle's turning maneuver.

360-degree Panoramic View & Video recording:

In contrast to conventional 360-degree panorama products on the market, which typically offer low resolutions of VGA 640x480 or 700tvl, our AI-MDVR boasts a superior 360-view function. This is achieved through the use of four 180-degree wide-angle 1080p AHD cameras, providing a comprehensive and high-definition view of the vehicle's surroundings on the monitor. Furthermore, the AI-MDVR enables real-time video recording, allowing for a permanent record of events. The system also offers advanced functionality, including the ability to automatically display each channel on the monitor based on the specific vehicle configuration. This is made possible by the AI-MDVR's 8-sensor I/O trigger, which enables seamless and customizable integration with various vehicle systems.

Video telematics is an advanced version of vehicle telematics that combines visual data, vehicle analysis, and geospatial vision. Unlike traditional automotive telematics solutions that only send text alerts to managers, video telematics solutions also capture video data.

The integration of video telematics into fleet management software has greatly improved its capabilities. In addition to real-time location tracking, the software now collects vast amounts of data and provides valuable insights into vehicles through its sensors Dashboard camera records the driver’s actions, while the video sensor captures the environment surrounded both externally and internally. These environmental factors include the speed of nearby vehicles, the behavior of the driver, and the environment around the vehicle.

DMS- ADAS: The Core Components of Video Telematics Solutions

The Driver Management System (DMS) and Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) are not only the fundamental elements of Video Telematics but are also considered the essence and backbone of video telematics.

The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is responsible for overseeing and monitoring driver behavior, while the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) aids in monitoring the surrounding road environment. Moreover, the system recognizes events rather than individual actions, categorizing them into various types such as smoking, yawning, drowsiness, and more. The dashcam captures the driver’s actions, compares them with the recognized events, and subsequently generates appropriate alerts.

In addition, fleet managers are also notified about other significant events, including the blocking of the camera, the absence of the driver from the driver’s seat, and the use of a mobile phone.

The ADAS feature not only enhances the overall functionality but also effectively detects the surrounding environment and promptly notifies the driver of any potential incidents. By incorporating the ADAS feature, insurance claim settlements, driver training, and the overall safety of the vehicle, driver, and cargo have been greatly improved. Fleet managers can be notified about events such as chances of forward collisions, red light jumping, and reckless lane switching through ADAS.

How do Video Telematics Solutions Operate?

Video telematics solutions function by combining vehicle data, driving data, real-time location, and video footage transmitted over cellular data. Whenever an event occurs, the device generates an appropriate alert. The main goal of this technology is to enhance driver safety by providing personalized data that can be used for driver training and coaching purposes.

The software primarily focuses on monitoring drivers’ behavior and identifying risky activities such as overspeeding, reckless driving, distracted driving, and more. Cameras are used to capture video footage, which provides a comprehensive understanding of driver conduct and any related issues. This enables fleet management to make well-informed decisions.

Different types of cameras are available based on the fleet’s requirements, including multi-camera, road-facing, and driver-facing cameras.

Benefits of Video Telematics Solutions

Video telematics solutions offer various benefits, particularly in the context of fleet management, safety, and operational efficiency. Here are some key advantages of implementing video telematics solutions:

(1) Driver Monitoring

Video telematics can record and analyze drivers’ behavior, promoting safer driving habits and reducing risky behaviors such as speeding, harsh braking, and aggressive driving. The solution not only analyzes driving habits but also notifies events of collisions. In such events, video footage can provide crucial information for understanding the cause of the event. Advanced video telematics solutions also provide real-time alerts to prevent collisions.

(2) Real-time Live Streaming

Video telematics systems provide real-time streaming, allowing fleet managers to monitor their fleet and the activities of drivers in real time. This solution helps address issues as they arise and improves overall operational visibility.

(3) Opportunities for Driver Training

Utilizing video footage can be an effective method for driver training and coaching. This enables fleet managers to pinpoint areas that require improvement and offer tailored training to enhance the driving skills of their drivers.

(4) Surveillance for Security

Why are headlights so expensive for cars?

The high cost of modern car headlights is driven by a convergence of advanced technology, complex design, stringent regulations, and market factors. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

​​Advanced Technology & Complexity:​​

​​LED/Laser/Matrix Systems:​​ Modern headlights use multi-element LED arrays, adaptive projectors, laser elements (on high-end models), or matrix/pixel technology that individually dims segments of the beam. This requires sophisticated control units, sensors, and wiring.

​​Adaptive Functionality:​​ Features like auto-leveling, cornering beams, glare-free high beams, and dynamic light projections require motors, cameras, complex software, and extra wiring harnesses.

​​Integrated Components:​​ Headlights now house DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), turn signals, position lights, and often front-facing sensors (radar/camera for ADAS) all in one sealed unit, driving up complexity.

​​Precision Engineering & Materials:​​

​​Optical Precision:​​ Lenses and reflectors are molded with extreme precision to meet strict beam pattern regulations and avoid glare. Molds for these optics are incredibly expensive to design and manufacture.

​​Materials:​​ High-performance polycarbonate lenses resist yellowing and cracking, while complex aluminum or magnesium heat sinks efficiently dissipate heat from powerful LEDs/Lasers. Seals must be perfect to prevent moisture and corrosion. Internal reflectors use specialized coatings.

​​Durability Requirements:​​ Headlights must withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, road debris impacts, vibrations, and chemical exposure (car washes, road salt) for the vehicle's lifespan. This requires high-grade materials and construction.

​​Regulation & Testing Overhead:​​

​​Global Standards:​​ Headlights must comply with strict global regulations (SAE, ECE, etc.) regarding beam pattern, intensity, cutoff sharpness, and aiming. Developing, testing, and certifying each headlight design for different markets adds significant cost.

​​Complex Testing:​​ Extensive lab and road testing is required to ensure compliance, durability, and performance in all conditions, adding R&D costs.

​​Design and Manufacturing Integration:​​

​​Styling Demands:​​ Headlights are critical styling elements. Aggressive shapes, intricate lighting signatures ("light jewelry"), and seamless integration with body panels require complex, unique housings for each model.

​​Custom Manufacturing:​​ Headlights are model-specific (often even trim-level specific). Low-volume production runs compared to simple bulbs mean costs aren't spread over millions of identical units. Assembly involves delicate electronics and precise calibration.

​​Module Design:​​ Modern headlights are typically sold as sealed assemblies ("modules"). If anything fails inside (LED chip, driver, ballast, motor, wiring), you often have to replace the entire 800+ unit, not a 10 bulb.

​​Supply Chain & Market Factors:​​

​​OEM vs. Aftermarket:​​ Dealers charge high prices for genuine OEM parts, covering their overhead and profit margins. While quality aftermarket options exist (often significantly cheaper), OE parts command a premium.

​​Insurance Influence:​​ Since insurance often pays for replacements after collisions (which frequently damage headlights), manufacturers have less pressure to minimize headlight costs compared to components owners pay for directly.

​​Low Price Elasticity:​​ Headlights are essential safety items. Consumers need them to drive legally and safely, reducing the incentive for manufacturers/dealers to compete heavily on price for replacements.

​​Supplier Profit:​​ Tier-1 suppliers (like Valeo, Bosch, Magna, Koito) design and build these complex units and need to recoup their substantial R&D and tooling investments per unit sold to the automaker.

​​Labor Cost (Hidden):​​ Installation is often complex, requiring bumper/fender removal and sometimes electronic calibration/reprogramming. While the part cost is high, labor adds significantly to the total replacement expense perceived by the owner.

​​Comparison to Older Designs:​​

​​Simple Halogen Reflectors:​​ Used cheap bulbs (10-50), simple reflectors, and a basic lens. Easy to manufacture replaceable bulbs. Entire assembly replacement was relatively inexpensive (100-300).

​​HID Projectors:​​ Introduced cost via ballasts and specialized bulbs (50-150 per bulb), but the projectors and housings were less complex than modern LED units. Assemblies cost more than halogens but less than LEDs.

​​Modern LED/Adaptive Units:​​ Represent a quantum leap in technology, integration, and complexity, hence the price jump.

​​In essence:​​ You're paying for ​​high-tech electronics, extreme precision optics, complex software integration, advanced materials built for durability, significant R&D/testing/regulatory costs, custom low-volume manufacturing of a styling-critical safety component, and market dynamics where insurers often foot the bill.​​ It's a far cry from swapping out a simple bulb in a basic reflector housing.
