No HVAC systems should function to keep the air temperature correct. Many cars do this. I've not touched the HVAC system in my car in 2 years now.

There are other important functions used while driving:

Defrost (front fans and/or rear electric heater): The need for this usually doesn't show up until you've been driving for a few minutes.

Recirculate: For when you get stuck driving behind a badly tuned diesel or a classic muscle car.

Thankfully, my car has physical buttons for all of these.

They should have added a provision in the law that expressly forbids making any property photo look like a creepy glowing Thomas Kinkade painting. That would cover most of the issues.

Although they should also ban using whatever software straightens out all the curved lines in their ultra-fisheye lens images. It just don't look right.
