I'm not sure why you'd bother trying to converse with me if you thought I was asking about people turning off low beams at night.

Plenty of people turn on their high beams and don't bother to manage them. I guess automatic dimming systems should help with that. Looking a bit, they don't necessarily default to on in US vehicles, which is likely to minimize the benefit.

The auto-dim systems don't always work, either. My mother-in-law's Toyota has this feature, and it seems to work when it wants to.

Same with a 2020 Honda Civic. Those auto-dim headlights shut themselves off in a timely manner about 50% of the time.
