A lot of drivers assume their lights are on because it's automatic in driving rain, but they're not.


My headlights come on when I turn my wipers on (after 10 seconds or so) as they have in every vehicle I’ve owned with automatic headlights.

It's not all, but I saw way more 2015 and newer vehicles without lights on this weekend on 90 when the bottom fell out than I did hazards. Maybe the idiots just turned auto off for some reason and didn't realize it, but I do think auto light functions have conditioned many drivers to not even think about making sure their lights are on. It's like proximity sensors when reversing. I had someone back into me recently because "there wasn't a beep" even though the idiot admitted he saw how close he was on his fricking backup camera.

I love modern amenities on vehicles and the ease of use, but a lot of times you don't realize there is a malfunction with them until $damage$ is done.
