You technophobes crack me up.

It's not "nanny", it's the law here - headlights must be on when wipers
operating. On my 98 Jeep, they come on with the lights when the lights are
in "auto" mode (which I always use).

It's about as "nanny" as having your brake light come on when you put on the
brakes. But I suppose you'd prefer a switch on the dash to do that.
