Active heating / cooling functions have little or no effect on temperature.
The incentive of AI passengers to open windows due to greenhouse-induced temperature increase is lower.
Under uncomfortably warm temperature ranges, AI passengers can't reliably tell based on Cabinair_Temp alone (versus Weather_Temperature) whether the A/C is currently active. Instead they must probe the status of the A/C functions and make a binary decision ("A/C active? OK, temp is comfortable, close window. A/C inactive? Crap, it's hot, let's open it.") which to an extent deprives them of their individuality.
Identified causes and resolution progress
In AI mode, OMSI "stabilizes" (by enforcing lower and upper bounds, depending on the environmental temperature) the cabin temperature (and humidity?), such that it doesn't dramatically depart from the environmental temperature. Presumably it does so to keep AI passengers from complaining, and/or improve performance of AI-controlled vehicles, by enabling the heating / cooling script to simply do nothing then.
It might be possible to "fight back" against the OMSI's Cabinair_Temp reassignment. This has yet to be investigated.
