I drove a car once with that feature on by default without realising. I was on a long straight road at night. Ahead there was a junction on the left, and the “feature” flashed the headlights and a car pulled out thinking I was letting them out and I had to slam on the breaks.
That was some years ago and even the car I have now (brand new Kia) has a a buggy high beam assist. It comes on and goes off when you don’t want it to. Worse is that it’s activated by pushing the stalk forward. To enable manual mode you have to push it forward again.
Edit: further rant. The auto stop start doesn’t engage quick enough and auto hold isn’t enabled by default, so you can roll backwards waiting for the engine to turn on. Every time I turn on the car I have to turn off Auto Start Stop and Lane Keep Assist
