Now, now. Steven should be congratulated for his public service. More people need to be involved in public service. However, I still think DRLs in sunny California are dopey.

It's in sunny areas where they are most necessary. In non-sunny areas
people are already using lights in the daytime.

And of course the necessary brightness of a DRL, which is used solely as
a "being seen" light, is much lower than what is needed to see the road
at night. You can learn more at
https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/daytime_running_lights/. Of course
we will soon see claims that this is all self-interest by Trek, whose
sole aim is to sell more lights.
