Auto things on cars really lull some people into a false sense of security, see my links above about increase in accidents in USA due to more automation on vehicles causing drivers to 'switch off' while driving.

On the plus side those cars with only DRL on in the dark may have had no lights on at all if it was up to driver to switch them on.
