Fortunately (at least where I'm living) automatic headlights are already more widespread than the fancy "matrix-lighting" headlights, for the simple reason that a light sensor on the windshield is cheaper than two state-of-the-art headlights. But, I confess, if anybody would move the switch from "Auto" to "Off" on my car, I might join the people driving without lights for some time before I would notice it...

I'm like that too. Furthermore I have a story about that: A couple months ago I found myself driving a car that didn't have automatic windshield wipers. I drove in the rain for a couple of minutes without turning them on and only realized what was happening by the time I asked myself "why can't I see anything?".
Happened to me after taking my car to inspection a couple years back. I keep lights in auto position always, but I guess they test the parking lights and other positions and afterwards left them turned off. Took me quite a while before I realized I'm driving without lights.
