I see that NHTSA has finally legalized adaptive headlights and should be available on oncoming cars. I was wondering if the Hummer (or any other GM cars) will have that or already have them and can just be updated over the air? Would love to see them working on a Hummer sometime soon!

My thoughts exactly, but they probably wouldn't be able to update.... Probably a whole redesign and not cheap

The Cadillac XT6 has them already installed just disabled, a firmware update should be able to enable them.

Hummer certainly does not have adaptive headlights, as adaptive headlights require larger space and lens, as there are dozens of reflected beams.

Haven't seen the hummer lights up close enough to know if they have anything that's not currently enabled, but in my Polestar 2, this is how the adaptive headlights will work once they are fully enabled. Right now the whole matrix is either on or off.

Would the Escalade have them then as well if the XT6 has them?

I'm not sure, only stories have mentioned the XT6 having them, likely because it can be used in other Markets its sold in.

Escalade lights

XT6 lights

So the Escalade comes standard with auto leveling lights, but this isn't the same as the adaptive cornering lights on the XT6. The XT6 you can get the premium headlamp system which is the adaptive cornering lights, but it is an option on the higher trims and not standard.

The Adaptive Cornering lights are not the same as the Adaptive Headlights.

The cornering lights are located below the DRLs

(see the square in the bottom)

The XT6 Headlights basically have the Adaptive Headlights included but they aren't activated yet.
