I didn't believe it could be that nad, but I looked up the video at Tesla and you really have to go to the touchscreen to speed up the wiper. That should absolutely be illegal. Does it have some autosense feature so that you usually don't have to ise it?

It does have an auto mode. But also, you can now adjust wiper speed / interval on the steering wheel in a Tesla without using the touchscreen. Feature was actually added a just a few weeks ago in a software update.

  I'm sure it's the type of thing in an Elon meeting he would say "Surely we can think of a solution better than relying on drivers to provide meaningful input to the desired outcome?"

    Surely the ideal is the wiper is always moving at the perfectly desired speed and interval without any human intervention required.

      That's the UX designer's trap. Yes, in theory it would be best to have the perfect speed without intervention but there isn't one perfect speed for the conditions. The speed the driver wants changes from driver to driver and might depend not just on how much rain is coming down but on the amount of traffic on the road, proximity to pedestrians, eye sight and time of day and any number of other factors. It's always going to be better to have an automatic system that can be tweaked by the driver because everyone is different. The more easily the driver can do that without thinking the better.

  Does changing the speed using the wheel require either knowing a menu layout or looking at a screen to know what the wheel control is actually controlling at the moment?
