What does automatic lighting mean for a car?

Automatic lighting for a car means the following: Meaning of automatic lighting: Also known as automatic sensing headlights, for the convenience of the driver, a photosensitive control system is installed on the front headlights of the car, which contains a light sensor. When the light sensor detects that the external light intensity is greater or less than a certain value, it sends an electronic signal to the ECU, thereby controlling the turning on or off of the car's headlights. Automatic lighting switch: The switch is located on the light control lever. Turning the switch to the AUTO position (automatic mode) activates the automatic headlight function, hence it is also called an auto light. Auto lighting is very intelligent, user-friendly, and easy to use, and it can be left on all the time. When this function is enabled, the lights will automatically turn on when driving in a dimly lit environment; as long as the car is turned off or driving in bright daylight, the lights will automatically turn off.
The automatic headlights in my car refer to the configuration where, after setting the light switch to the AUTO position, the system can automatically determine the brightness to turn the headlights on or off. It relies on a light sensor behind the windshield to detect ambient brightness. For example, when entering a tunnel or during dusk when it's just getting dark, the headlights turn on by themselves without me manually twisting the switch, which is very convenient. It's especially suitable for someone like me with a poor memory, as I don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn on the lights during long drives. Once, when entering an underground parking garage on a rainy day, the lights turned on instantly as the light dimmed, making it much safer. However, be careful not to apply dark film or place objects over the sensor position, as it won’t work properly if blocked. After turning off the engine, the lights stay on for a while longer to illuminate the path when getting out of the car, which is quite thoughtful.
