Hi Godrey nearly all of my close-up flower test shots got heavily overexposed in Lightroom's auto mode. But then, the background was about 2/3 and quite dark on some of them and only the main flower is bright. Lightroom seems to look at the overall brightness and not weighting the center more and corrects too much because of the dark backgound. Did Lightroom handle your "minimalistic" neighbourhood photos right? Maybe it's just too much demanding from an automatic, but I think it could avoid burned out highlights at least since it has that information.

I clicked on the Auto button in the Basic panel. In a moment or three, most were well within the bounds of what I'd consider normal for Auto settings ... a couple overexposed, a couple under, but most reasonably presentable. Only two or three I'd consider perfectly done. I did the same in Camera Raw v3.7 and got virtually identical results. I don't know why your results would be different.
