If it's dark, I would assume it is likely that the taillights are also on.
The thing that always gets me is switching between (rental) cars that have automatic headlight sensors and those that don't.
Last year saw a revival of drive-in cinemas in my area (for ... obvious reasons).
Apparently drivers are getting so used to the automation, that the staff was doing rounds telling the audience to turn off their automatic lights.
Then, on the way out, at least the driver in front of us completely forgot to turn on the lights again. This was not in a well lit area, but on cross country roads. I honestly have no idea how the driver did not notice that she couldn't see the road well.
If the drive-in theater became a real thing again, I imagine it would have to adapt to these realities.
It's annoying at first, but quickly becomes habit.
It would be nice if this was a standard feature in every car. Trying to determine whether the lights in the tail lamp cluster are all working without some assistance is difficult at best.
