That shit gets on my nerves so bad. I don't care to meet you, in fact I always do, nobody comes to my house to pick anything up, but if you want it you've got to meet me within about 10-15 minutes of my house or less.

Yeah, I'll drive <=15 min from work or home during non-peak traffic depending on the cost of the item. I will not drive 35 of 50 miles to you, especially since my mileage involves getting out of the city.

Sometimes, they want you to be there in 20 min.

Automatic headlights. Most cars have had them for a couple generations now and none, NONE of them work. Add a dash that's always lit up, and apparently most drivers don't know if their headlights are on or not (it's a little more obvious in a 30+ yr old car). Now when it's raining or foggy, almost no-one has their lights on. At a bare minimum, 1/3 states require lights be on with wipers, hey maybe the car could figure that out? Or really what is the big deal, just leave the lights on all the time since no-one's taking it seriously enough to make it work, and save a buck on the useless automatic lighting system and controls.
It'd be nice if the cops would pull people over in the rain who don't have their lights on, but half the cops don't have theirs on either.

My friend bought an accord and drove for THREE MONTHS thinking his headlights were on at night when he just had the DRLs turned on.

automatic headlights i have less of an issue with, but automatic high beams i do have an issue with.
I only have experience with the R and the Ridgeline. They both have their own issues. The ridgeline's high beam assist sensitivity was adjustable and when i set it to its most sensitive setting it was better. I'm not sure if the R's is adjustable, but i'll check; i rarely use it and it's not on by default which is nice.
The Helix aftermarket headlights on my wife's GSW has DRLs that are very bright, so i'm glad the auto headlight on setting is on her car.

Yikes I didn't know that was a thing, but I'm not surprised. If we cannot do it right, let's do it more! I would turn that off faster than I turn off lane assist and traction control.

hrug: I really like my Auto high beams in the truck. But I also live in BFE where having high beams matter.

Auto lights in my accord work really well. Auto high beams suck so that's off. Surbubia doesn't really require high beams anyway.
Incompetence in the rain is another story.

The problem is you get someone who shuts their lights OFF manually one time and then cannot be bothered to remember to turn the switch back to Auto. I'm looking at all of you, Nissan Rogue drivers going 107 mph on I-66 in the dusk in the rain with one dim DRL illuminating your path forward. Taylor's friend with the Accord, too. If you are that situationally unaware, you should not have a drivers' license in the first place. Periodt.
Every car should have a GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade headlamp switch. Default position is Auto, and the dial is spring-loaded so you can override to "Off" for your current drive (software controlled) but it is forced to Auto mode, physically.
I have auto high beams in the Ram and I love 'em. Nice when towing at night so I can keep both hands on the wheel and let the truck manage my lights.

Or we could just have cars with headlights on all the time.

Ugh they should all be like that.
Also wanted to whore out the fancy “anti-dazzle” auto high beams that comes on Euro LED BMW’s. Mine was coded for it when I got it and it was dope.

Fuckin' scalpers, man. I can't find a GPU for the life of me. Zen 3 sells out instantly and 3000 series cards are rarer than gold at MSRP.
