What does the auto switch in a car indicate?

[VonJudah]

The auto switch in a car refers to the automatic headlight switch, which means the headlights will automatically adjust to turn on or off based on the ambient brightness without manual control. Automatic headlights are controlled by a light sensor installed on the vehicle. When the light becomes dim, the headlights automatically turn on; when the light becomes bright, the headlights automatically turn off. They can also automatically switch between high and low beams during encounters with other vehicles. The working principle of automatic headlights involves a photosensitive sensor generating a voltage signal in response to external light changes, which is then fed back to the automatic headlight control module. After data analysis, the module determines whether the lights should be turned on. The system consists of components such as a photoresistor, control module, headlights, and speed sensor.
