It is in fact a safety feature. When Saab introduced DRLs as standard 12 years ago, there had been research done at the time that DRLs increased daytime visibility and therefore there were decreased accidents in areas that mandated them by law (in Europe). I'm digging way to the back of my brain, but I believe Saab did it's own study, as well as borrowed data from other studies.
That was their rationale anyway. Whether they work or not, I don't know.
