‘Automatic headlights’ don’t work in fog? Safety Question
About 40-50% of the cars we passed on the road today had no headlights on or only had the dim side lights. Do automatic lights not work in fog for these modern cars? Seems super sketchy

There is also the possibility that the automatic lights are turned off. Every car I've ever drove with automatic lights had a switch setting for auto. Turn them off and the lights stay off. Then they might forget they have to turn them on.
