Autopilot and Auto High Beams

[matts99]

Whenever I use Autopilot at night, it turns on the auto high beam feature despite having the feature disabled globally. Is this expected? I can handle ceding control of the steering to AP but I just can't let go of my high beams!

I think it's normal on all vision-only cars. I would assume it is so the AP has control on lighting to make sure the cameras see far enough to do a good job at night.

^ This. You can always turn them off with the stalk after enabling AP.

I can’t wait for this to be configurable – or at least for auto high beams to not immediately turn on, then realize there are cars around and turn off a few seconds later. Autopilot isn’t terribly useful at night if, after every lane change, you have to flash your bright lights at cars directly in front of you.
