Latest "gizmo"to take away any form of driver responsibility seems to be auto brake application-as can be seen on latest Nissan Note advert.

Must admit I don't really see the point in them.Is it so very difficult to operate wiper stalk if raining or light switch when light fades?

Loads of things like that .... electric seats, is it so hard to lift a lever & move it yourself? .... electric windows, is it so hard to use a windy handle? electric sunroof, central locking ..... etc etc etc

I think all cars should have auto lights. I was driving in torrential rain today, vision of oncoming vehicles was very poor, yet still people were driving with no lights on. Our lights came on automatically and, in fairness, they are pretty good at it.  I would have put mine on manually if need be but they did the job for me. 
Auto wipers are a bit hit and miss during light drizzle periods and require a bit of manual input now and again. I can leave auto wipe on and still use flick wipe without turning auto wipe off so not really an issue on mine.

Going to work the other morning (0600ish) when the weather was horrible, I couldn't believe the number of cars with NO lights on at all. New Mercs don't seem to have an option of 'OFF' on the switch.

Auto wipers on the jag seem to work fairly well    ……   tested thoroughly on a trip to wales,  where there are 37 different words for "rain"


not used the auto light thing yet…..   as i've not been brave enough to rely on it or , bored enough to read the manual section about them yet…..

Agreed - auto wipers on mine pretty good and sensitivity adjustable.
Auto lights also work well (better than on my old X350), as do the autodip lights

Strange that most people that knock them are those that don't have them

Opps, sorry, not my intention to knock them (apart from auto dipping lights, which will likely always be kak).

I think the wipers are now refined enough to be useful, unlike the Omega ones which are just awful.  I think auto lights still have some way to go (going by what is fitted on current model Insignias and Mundanos).
