Description of the problem | The car is equipped with an automatic headlight system that switches on the headlights under conditions of darkness. However, the car has no provision to provide the driver with feedback as to whether the headlights are actually on or off at any given moment. This leaves the driver uninformed. The driver is responsible for turning headlights on to comply with local laws, but the car does not provide feedback to the driver as to whether the headlights are actually on or off. This deficiency seems to be a design flaw. This is as yet unrelated to a specific incident. |
