Not required. Neither is sat nav. Neither is air con. Neither are heated seats. If you want a stripped back car with no luxuries go buy a Lotus. A £200k luxury GT should have lots of stuff like that on it imo. Been available on Mercs since the mid 90s  False comparisons.... I can easily turn on my lights or wipers...cannot easily heat up my bum, cool my face or read a map whilst moving. I find auto lights and wipers irritating and of virtually zero utility.

Never found satisfactory auto wipers as I always like to dictate their speed myself. But auto lights I find very useful on my DD, never thinking about turning a switch.
I understand both are on the new car

I find auto lights and wipers irritating and of virtually zero utility. Agreed, but I suppose these items are now 'expected' on higher end vehicles for some reason. They will appeal to some but others will find them a complete waste of time. Perhaps the most obvious comparison would be TT v Manual - I find it no problem at all changing gears in my BMWs but for some reason prefer the TT in the DB9

Like the Merc system, there's just a position on the light switch that says 'auto', same with the wipers. Never have to use if you wish not to.

The auto wipers work perfectly in my Full Fat Range Rover
