My last car, S=-Max, the DRL’s included the rears, it also put the headlights on if you used the wipers for more than about 30 secs. It was great for safety, you just left it on auto and it worked well in all conditions. Matrix LEDs as well, so no flashing from other drivers either.
Current car, Soul EV does not put the rears on with the DRL’s and the DRL’s are so bright/focused that you can easily see the road at night, so its easy to drive off thinking the lights are on. The auto setting doesn’t work in crappy weather, it stubbornly stays on DRL’s only regardless of visibility/wiper use etc.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
