Lucas was the inventor of the first intermittent wiper and the first self-dimming headlight.

Hmm, I thought that was Robert Kearns

and the first self-dimming headlight

You may be thinking of Lucas' homofocal (can I say that on FR?) lamps.

I believe that Americans patented 'self-dimming' headlights (which appeared on GM, Lincoln and Ford vehicles) with moderate to no success from the 1950s – 80s
