Lol, what a journey!
It’s not that you can’t see the road that tells you your lights are off, it’s the dashboard.
But that is def how people’s brainholes work actually.

Also, there are cars that don’t have automatic headlights and have an (I assume on of those fully) LCD dashboards?
Around my parts the former predates the latter (in high end cars, like the S-class not by a whole bunch, and there are those 70s cars with monochromatic LCDs, but still).
