You can turn your head slightly away from the on coming cars and still look forward and this really helps. I used to drive at night a lot and still often do as there’s alot less traffic. Or the same as with the sun you can use your hand to block the glare especially when it’s hitting off the wet ground. Also you can see cars coming because of the lights, when durin the day you might not. So i think all in all it makes little diffference.
There’s always going to be accidents when certain perimeters are met and humans make errors and imo is one reason, once ai can drive better then we humans can, we will not be allowed to drive, for our own safety and that of others. That’s how they’ll spin it. Articles and studies like this only fuel that..
