Since this vehicle was purchased new the automatic high beams have not worked correctly and will often stay on for incoming traffic. There is no fix for this issue at the moment. Mentioned this issue to Honda Corp and dealership and never heard a response from over two years ago. Brought vehicle recently to other dealer and mentioned my vehicle still has this issue. They completed an unrelated software update. Needless to say my Ridgeline is still having this issue.
In winter weather driving the LED headlights become covered in snow and ice. I have to keep finding a safe place to pull over and manually clear the snow and ice off the headlights so I can see properly without dazzling other drivers.
Auto high beam feature fails to go to dim quickly enough when on coming traffic appears. Yet it will dim for white or yellow road sign reflections. The system is very unpredictable and causes people to flash me often. Recurring problem since new.
The Automatic High Beams on my 2020 rarely activate and when they do, they dim almost immediately after seeing their own reflection even on tiny road markers. Occasionally, they'll activate or flash oncoming traffic which creates a hazard to their visibility and my safety. I alerted my local Honda Dealership at a scheduled service but they stated their were no service bulletins in effect for the Automatic High Beam system, and therefore nothing they would do.
The automatic high beam function is erratic and has switched to high when on-coming traffic is approaching. It also switches to low when there's no on-coming traffic. This typically happens during highway travel.

The auto high beam feature does not work correctly. Turns on and off at its own reflection from roadside sings of all shape and sizes. Flashes other vehicles when it is supposed to be on low beam. Have complained to Honda and was told if I did not like it too deactivate the feature.
When driving on a highway, the auto dimming high beam headlight system often fails to dim the high beams when an oncoming vehicle is approaching - often causing the oncoming driver to "flash" his high beams in anger. The system will also dim the high beams when it shouldn't.- when there's no vehicle ahead of you at all. The dealership has been unable to find a fix for the problem. I find other owners complaining of the same problem here... https://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/threads/auto-high-beam-cool-maybe-not.215738
