I dont get it either. I have one car with auto lights and one without. I don't ever forget to turn them on as it's pretty obvious when the dashboard lights aren't on.
Best I can figure is that these people have all LCD screens for the speedometer etc which have at least a little bit of backlight so they dont notice. You would think that cars with that many LCD screens would also have a $5 light sensor to switch on the lights when Lux < x but who knows. I have a SUV that will tell me pretty much everything except when the washer fluid is low.
I thought I did read somewhere that very shortly, there's new legislation that will force cars to have either auto lights or have the taillights on with DRLs if the car doesn't have auto lights.
