Those are called Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and have been around for decades on some vehicles. Yes, it's a safety thing. Some vehicles also have ambient light sensors that automatically turn the headlights on for those that aren't aware enough to turn them on in low visibility conditions like fog, rain, dusk, etc.
This technology seems to elude FOMOCO vehicles for the most part.
