I wish my car had the profile settings to automatically move to prest positions, because then I would have one profile set to specifically be aligned to reflect high beams behind me to aim directly back at a truck tailgating me.

For as long as I've owned a car I've dreamed of installing a flip-up mirror in my back window for this purpose

I have done this in a parking lot before to someone parked behind me.

Seriously, if you park your car, turn off your beams ffs.
