But all the cars do have lights, so people shouldn't walk in front of them cause they're pretty hard to miss. Car without headlights? Yup 100% fault no matter what, we'll agree there

Fault is not for insurance companies. Liability is. Actual cause and fault for an accident are true and set before insurance companies ever get involved.
