‘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

Lights on, always, in all environmental conditions. It's the only acceptable option IMO. There are no downsides, only upsides. Make it muscle memory. The drivers pictured don't care because they've never thought about it, or have some BS reason why they don't turn on their lights.
