Edit: to clarify: the message in the ad is actually ironic/satirical, mocking the advice for cyclists to wear high-viz at night.
It uses the same logic but inverts the parts and responsabilities, by suggesting to motorists (not cyclists) to apply bright paint on their cars.
So this ad is not pro or against high-viz, it's against victim blaming

My car is not even 20 years old, it does not have automatic wipers or lights. Lol. Also if someone turns them on manually, why is it bad that they don't use auto mode?
They forget, obviously.
I don't know what kind of car you have but I assume not one in north America?
Yes, one in North America. The USA specifically. You are tripping if you think 30 year old cars commonly feature automatic headlights
So.... which one then? I've never seen a car without.
2005 Ford Focus
Amazing, apparently pre-crisis ford was dicking around with making it a paid feature where if you swap the switch assembly it works fine but there's a version which just can't close that switch. Fucking stupid, ford.
