Headlights on during day

They are very sensitive and do come on when wipers on, but full sun doesn't sound right if no shadows.
Some camera related auto features not working are symptomatic of some other features not working. Does things like AP work as expected and car visualisations?

AP and visualisations are working fine
I didn't know the lights come on if the wipers are working though
Did complete an update a couple of days ago if that could change anything
Will keep my eye on it and see if there are any specific conditions that cause it

My BMW B5 used to do that, I think it was deliberate as they only did it if the sun was particularly bright, but then I did not have to think about battery use back then, just had to fill it up regularly with fossilised dinosaurs and watch the needle go down if I went fast

Fortunately using headlights is something which seems to have little effect on battery usage ... these new fangled efficient LEDs I suppose.
That’s because of the American heritage of the car - in the States it’s the law to have dipped headlights on in the rain.

Passed a car at night on motorway the other day with no tail lights on. Front lights were bright, so I assume that the cars daylight-running-lights fooled driver into thinking their lights were on. It was a large, modern,c ar so surprising it didn't automatically put the lights (rears) on at night ...

Electronic dash boards compound this problem. Its just a little icon (sometimes occluded by the steering wheel) that gives the game away rather than a dark speedo. But even then, that never stopped people.

The blinking car should be taking care of this. How dare it expect me to have to remember / do something / get hooted at?
Just bring this topic back up.
The weather is really sunny, and not a cloud in the sky. But on automatic, my headlights are still on. I cant see any reason why? (i will add my wifes Leaf seems to be doing this as well). Both cars are on the drive. I see zero reason why they should be one. Its just a waste of battery (thus range).
Anybody else still getting this issue?

Yeah it might be a product of it’s “upbringing”. As another poster has said some states (I know Florida for certain) Mandate that headlights must be on when it’s raining which is why they come on in a Tesla. Could be the same, especially in the south west of the country, for heat shimmer and the like.
