I hear the fans on the viz thing, esp in the GWN/high latitude countries
and low light situs...otoh, as an M'cycle rider, my lil' headlamp and
turn signals are lost in the sea of DRLs, imo. I find myself working to
get isolated and out of traffic or, swarms of cars on the highways, so
the texting, latte sipping, vid watching, back seat kid swatting, "driver"
might see me.

I realize I am railing at the moon here, but I don't have them turned on,
in our cars. When I get into a low light situ, I turn on the fogs or the
head lights...when I get into a temp. low light situ, ditto or, a few
flashes with my headlights.

I am looking forward to the mandatory lane drift detection and correction
software to be fitted to my next Aveo... ...

With the more rules & regs are good for you spirit, I'm surprised it took
this long for the EU gang to make this mandatory.
