The claims in this debate are getting very humourous.  How much do you
figure this technology costs?  DRLs use existing ignition and headlight
switches, existing headlights and existing wiring.  I don't know the
particulars but I am guessing there is an extra component or two of extra
electrical hardware that makes an ordinary vehicle into a DRL vehicle.
When applied to every vehicle produced, how much do you figure this adds to
the cost?  I would bet we are talking a dollar or two.  The outrageous
expense argument is right up there with the glare argument and the "until
everyone drives perfectly..." argument in being utterly ridiculous.  As for
painting all cars white, I am just going to leave this one alone.:-)
