What's even more strange, sometimes the high beams came on as well. This was around 3pm.

yes. my '14 BMW had this feature.
If your headlights are in Auto and the wipers have been swiping for about a minute, the headlights will come on and will stay on until the wipers aren't consistently swiping.
It's a safety feature that, IMO, all cars should have. Headlights on/Wipers on is the law in my state, and I can't tell you how many people don't do this, even in torrential downpours.
