Some things are just programmed so badly.
As in other threads, the headlights come on even when sunny when a bird flies overhead, when you go near a tree, etc. There are 3D printed light sensor housings that let more light in and reduce the unnecessary "headlights on for 5 seconds" syndrome.
Today I had the opposite, fairly sunny, but torrential rain on the motorway. I wanted the rear lights and headlights on. My golf would put the headlights on, even if sunny, if the wipers were on in rain. The MG4 didn't, I waited to see, so I manually turned the headlights on. Safe driver or what...
Got to work, parked, and someone later said I'd left my lights on... Unlike every other car I've had in the last 20 years, if you switch your headlights on manually eg for mist or rain, the headlights do not go off when you turn the car off and lock it! So they would have been on all day had it not been mentioned.
Something to add to the long list of things that should be programmed differently.
