Can anyone explain the appeal of auto-leveling headlights versus manual-leveling? I've been in arguments with guys that 1) headlights don't need to be leveled and 2) manual-leveling is unsafe (they dared to even compare it to texting while driving).

I got tired of arguing because I think they were special in the head, but then it made me wonder how auto-leveling works and if you can still override with a manual adjustment in the cabin?
Courtesy to oncoming traffic. My Lexus cars had some type of electronic sensor mounted on the rear sub-frame with a rod connected to the lower A-arm that sent a signal to a headlight servo. Very effective going up and down mountain roads. No manual override.
