‘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

I think, you can try and idiot proof cars, but idiots always get around it.

I've asked people I know who drive with their lights off in bad weather or fog, answer...... Well I can see where I'm going. I don't need the lights on.

There's no thought of being seen, only that they can see.
