Which sensor triggers automatic headlamps?

  • A.The camera behind the windscreen, which measures the brightness of the scene ahead and switches the lamps accordingly
  • B.A switch on the column
  • C.A thermistor on the windscreen, which detects the temperature and therefore the likely conditions of visibility outside
  • D.A photodiode in the rain and light sensor unit

Answer: D

A combined rain and light sensor at the mirror mounting reads ambient and forward light. Cameras genuinely contribute to lighting decisions on vehicles with driver assistance, which makes the second option a real input. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion.
