stop dinging

It was a rainy day today so I had the headlights on in my rental car. When I stopped the car and got out, the car started dinging at me... why was it dinging? I finally realized I left the lights on. 

If the car can ding at me that I've left the lights on, why can't the car just fix the problem and turn the lights off for me?  The car knows there is a problem but that's all. (Elon Musk had a similar thought and did something about it.)

The rental is like a lot of people. They are great at dinging all over the place. Uh, problem over here, problem over there.

Great, instead of dinging, how about just turning off the lights? Or at least trying?
