My "new to me" 2009 Ford F-150 has some type of light system - I don't know that it's DRL, because the headlights come on, but are much lower brightness and the rear lamps don't come on.
IMHO, I'd rather not have it mandated on the vehicle - MN already has a law that requires you to turn on your lights in the rain (or at dusk)
And since our other car (2013 Santa Fe) has DRL's that come on and are full brightness, I have to remind myself to turn on the Ford's headlights to ensure my rear lights are visible.
To me, it's accountability. It seems like having the feature on encourages me to forget to actually engage the headlights.
So many years of driving vehicles that didn't have that feature - well, I always made sure my lights were on!
