      It’s really dumb that automatic windshield wipers dont also turn on the automatic headlights.

        Automatic windshield wipers sounds like it would annoy the hell out of me. Possibly even more than how cars never seem to have a wiper speed suitable to the rain level I end up driving in.

          They are irritating af. They either don’t react fast enough to changing weather, or they overdo it and force you to turn the auto feature off anyway. Terrible design.

            This is what I had envisioned apart from it automatically changing speed too, or trying to. Based on the other response I guess the implementations vary across different cars and ability to function as intended also varies.

          I ended up with them on my crv… u do actually enjoy them! The wiper speed seem to match the level of moisture

        For some cars* On Hyundai’s the lights come on when the rain sensor is triggered or the wipers are on.
