Re: Lights
Check the sensor on the windscreen in front of the mirror mount against the windscreen itself (best viewed from outside). It may have failed and isn’t sending a low light signal to the car light control module. It could also be that if the ‘sensor window’ fogs up that may have confused the system.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Is the battery ok could be a battery saving thing and it's getting that time of the year for batteries to start to fail.
That's my best thought.

Re: Lights
Can be very sensitive to the dust/dirt on the screen (as you’ve appeared to have seen) bit otherwise as Richard states could the sensor itself playing up.
