You are someone who hasn't lived in many of the 50 US states, apparently: there are no state car inspections in most places. Ever. I know it seems amazing to those of us who are accustomed to them.
Actually, you would probably not get away with having failed auto-headlight-dimming because you would annoy a cop going the other way and get a ticket. But features that aren't so obvious will go uninspected in many locations.

Then the car probably won't pass vehicle inspection anymore and thus cannot be driven legally.

Maybe not but you can get a fix it ticket from the police.
You seriously expect your car's auto-headlight-dimming feature to be regularly inspected?
No doubt in California this would show up as a trouble item in the OBD-II diagnostic and that would immediately fail its "smog" check.
