🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Wednesday starts with a federal review of vehicle-lighting rules and a useful way to check what internet providers actually report for your address.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it will rewrite U.S. vehicle-lighting standards to address headlight glare and make room for newer safety technology. Reuters reports that the agency plans to review rules covering LEDs, dusk sensors, automatic high beams, replaceable light sources, and the effect of headlamp height and aim. NHTSA will use a negotiated rulemaking process with representatives from manufacturers, safety groups, researchers, and engineering organizations.

📶 Useful this morning: Enter your home or small-business address in the FCC's National Broadband Map to see which providers report service there, along with the technologies and maximum advertised speeds they claim to offer. If a provider, connection type, or purchasable speed is wrong—or your location is missing—the map includes a challenge process. Correct reports help identify communities that are still underserved.
