Even if it was true in the generality you state it in here, it still would be a minute fraction of the headlight violations that happen at dusk-night-dawn. But it is not even true in this generality.

I have been through quite a bit of torrential rain with my car and I have noticed that the lights usually come on before more than a handful of the others switch theirs on manually. I have indeed seen two or three situations within the last year where visibility was really bad and still enough light present that it made manual interaction necessary.

And weighing these two or three situations against the several hundred situations where the headlights came on at the right time I can safely say the system works very well. Same goes for the other cars I see. If all cars around here had automatic headlights, the number of headlight violations would go down by somewhere north of 95%. Which is better than a lot of other systems that are built into cars, including the automatic transmission and other things.

I suggest you guys get some first-hand experience and lose your hatred and rage so you will be able to think rationally again.
