The auto iris or tone mapping is still a big problem in this game. Around dusk, the camera will change exposure dramatically depending upon how much sky is in the picture, so the road might be well lit one second and then go super dark when the sky comes into view. It also happens each time you pass under a street lamp.
If you really want to see this in action, get real close to the top of the pyramid hotel in Las Vegas at night.
Yep, this is a big issue. Over the last few days I've tried to do several road trips with friends and once it got dark, we couldn't even see the road which resulted in many crashes and off-road excursions.
Another thing that irks me about the game is that there is no full beam toggle to increase your range like you have on a real car.
Developers, PLEASE do not try to solve this issue by increasing the night time brightness. Night time is supposed to be dark. In my opinion night time is currently too bright, especially in the rural areas.
Fix the issue by actually increasing the headlight distance. Some cars should also have more powerful headlights depending on their setup. For example, the buggy has fog lights; why doesn't it increase the headlight brightness? Same thing with rally cars that feature fog lights.
