Why don't a car's headlights turn on automatically when the wipers are on?

The lack of universal automatic headlight activation when windshield wipers are engaged stems from a mix of legal inconsistencies, technical limitations, and driver behavior considerations. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. Legal Requirements Vary by Region

In the U.S.: • "Wipers On, Lights On" Laws: Over 20 states (e.g., New York, Pennsylvania) mandate headlight use when wipers are active. However, federal law does not require automakers to link these systems. • No Federal Standard: The NHTSA prioritizes other safety tech (e.g., automatic emergency braking), leaving lighting rules to states.

In the EU: • Daytime running lights (DRLs) are required, but full headlights are not automatically tied to wipers.

This patchwork of regulations means automakers often avoid adding region-specific features to global vehicle platforms.

2. Technical and Cost Barriers

Sensor Integration: Linking wipers to headlights requires software programming and sensor integration (e.g., rain sensors). Older or budget vehicles often lack these systems.

DRLs vs. Full Headlights: Many cars have DRLs that stay on, but these don’t activate taillights—a critical safety flaw in rain. Full automatic headlights would require additional wiring and control modules.

Cost to Automakers: Adding this feature could raise vehicle prices by $50–$200 per unit, a disincentive for economy models.

3. Driver Behavior and Control

Overriding Preferences: Some drivers want manual control (e.g., intermittent wipers in light drizzle may not warrant headlights).

False Sense of Security: Drivers in states without "wipers on, lights on" laws may assume DRLs are sufficient, unaware that taillights remain off.

4. Cars That Do Automate This

GM Vehicles: Most GM cars since the mid-2010s (e.g., Chevrolet, GMC) activate headlights with sustained wiper use.

Luxury Brands: Mercedes, BMW, and Volvo often link wipers to headlights via rain sensors.

Aftermarket Fixes: Modules like Lumen SafetyLight ($120) can wire wipers to headlights in older cars.

5. Why It’s Critical to Manual Override Even if your car lacks automation:

Safety Impact: Headlights reduce collision risk by 25% in rain (NHTSA).

Taillight Activation: Manual headlights ensure your taillights illuminate, making you visible from behind.

The Future of Automation

ADAS Integration: Newer cars with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are more likely to bundle lighting and wiper automation.

Regulatory Push: Advocacy groups like the AAA urge federal laws to standardize "wipers on, lights on" rules.

Bottom Line: While some modern cars automate this, inconsistent laws and cost-cutting prevent universal adoption. Until then, manually turning on headlights in rain remains a lifesaving habit.

Completely white interior design trend needs to die

u mentioned ur game running smoothly and i saw u post about elden ring a while back, could i ask what specs ur playing on if thats ok?? :-] just out of curiosity

Nothing insane but I'm happy with it especially since I was lucky enough to get everything for free - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz - NVIDIA Quadro P4000 - 64.0 GB RAM - 500 GB SSD. I installed windows on it for da speed but its also my Designated Sims Drive. Load times are so much better. I also have a couple of 250s and a couple of 1TB HDDs I need to add in.... games take up so much space these days man .... (I need to get meatier drives but I don't have money atm so the 5 extra slots that felt like overkill at first are coming in handy)

It might not be a nasa computer but the game runs perfectly, aside from the occasional lag spike everyone has been getting for years now. Granted, I've gotten nowhere near the amount of mods I used to have back in the game yet, but I've noticed no difference in loading times or performance with what I have added, whereas on my old setup it would at least cause the game to take an extra two minutes to load for the same items.

As for ER I think it automatically set my graphics and iirc they're mostly high?? And it runs very smoothly too aside from the occasional stutter when I enter a new area here and there. (Until this last patch .... gotta problem solve that later...)

"If you're hoping that reef-restoring coral larvae will settle down in damaged reefs, you can't just sit around and wait for it to happen. You have to get out there and entice the larvae, which is exactly what a new algae-based gel is designed to do.

While we may think of coral reefs' "skeletons" as being composed solely of calcium carbonate produced by coral polyps, much of the material is in fact generated by what are known as crustose coralline algae.

Along with contributing greatly to the structural integrity of reefs, the algae-produced calcium carbonate also serves as a home to planktonic coral larvae. Once those formerly free-swimming organisms settle in and become polyps, they start producing reef-building calcium of their own.

It's a good arrangement for the coral, but it also benefits the algae.

Not only does the reef itself provide the algae with protection from the elements, the coral polyps also emit ammonia which the algae feed upon. It is therefore in the algae's best interest to entice any coral larvae that may be swimming past in the water column. In order to do so, the algae release metabolite chemicals that attract the larvae.

Led by Dr. Daniel Wangpraseurt, scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography have now incorporated those metabolites into a gel that can be applied to degraded coral reefs. Called SNAP-X, the substance reportedly boosts coral larval settlement by up to 20 times as compared to untreated surfaces.

If the algae metabolites were just applied to the coral on their own, they would soon dissipate in the water, leaving the coral larvae unable to follow them to their source. For that reason, the researchers started by encasing the chemical molecules in durable silica nanoparticles. Those particles were then suspended within a biocompatible liquid blend of gelatin methacrylate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate.

When that liquid is sprayed or painted onto a surface – such as a piece of dead coral – then exposed to ultraviolet light, it polymerizes into a hydrogel form. That gel is capable of clinging to the surface for up to one month while immersed in flowing water, gradually releasing its larvae-attracting nanoparticles as it does so.

Initial lab tests showed that application of SNAP-X resulted in a six-fold increase in larval settlement. Subsequent tests that more accurately simulated the water flow on coral reefs, however, produced the 20-times figure.

It should be noted that all of the tests conducted so far have involved a single type of coral, but Wangpraseurt believes the technology should work on other species with a few tweaks.

"I think this material is a breakthrough that can hopefully make a big contribution to coral restoration," he says. "Biomedical scientists have spent a lot of time developing nanomaterials as drug carriers, and here we were able to apply some of that knowledge to marine restoration."

A paper on the research was recently published in the journal Trends in Biotechnology."
