pog,
Obviosly such automatic systems have manual over-rides.
When in dense fog, if you think headlights can be seen in thick fog, not to mention driving with headlights from your own vehicle in thick fog blinds you as the light reflects off the water vapor. Fog requires low wave light, it's a matter of physics. Driving slowly in fog with fog lamps only or even parking lights is the second best action, the first best thing to do is get the hell off the road and wait it out.
Being mindful of reflectors is a must when driving. There's always going to be people driving with headlights off regardless of our desires, so paying attention for reflective license plates and reflective turn markers is a must. The point, don't rely on the other persons headlights to spot them and perhaps you won't get hit and killed when they turn to hit you.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
