You are correct. Adaptive led lights do not have selective beam. They only get automatic height alignment, and adaptive horizontal alignment that's basically swivelling of the light in the corners. There is also a separate LED cornering light for low speed turns. (as seen on the illustration in the first post).
Also, if I remember correctly, there was a mention of adaptive beam width/length that changes depending on the speed. On low speed, beam should become wider and shorter, and for highway driving it becomes longer and narrower. (I'm not sure about this part. It might be from a different light setup)

Selective beam, and "shadowing" of oncoming traffic is reserved only for the top spec Led+Laser lights.
