We have a lot of mist here as opposed to rain droplets and I’ve found that AP1 responds decently to large splattering drops of rain but not well at all to mist or small water droplets.

Pretty much chronological order, but I know there may be odd exceptions.@HankLloydRight are we doing ev-fw.com releases in numerical order or chrono?(Serious question, I don’t think we’ve had one out of sequence like 48.15 before....)

What ? Auto rain sensing is available now ? There goes about 50% of the posts on this forum.

Happy New Year to you.
FYI, There are some threads on this. 2017.50.3.f3425a1 is out with auto rain sensor!

Late 2106 (December) AP2, S90Ds like mine have (no longer available) ventilated [cooled] perforated white vegan seats. LOVE this in the summer time and in AZ. Too bad they stopped offering them, but its sort of like (a single) unicorn hair, right????For what it's worth, there are two things I've been annoyed that I will lose when I eventually get my car, auto wipers and air conditioned seats. Granted, I use the air conditioned seats wayyyyyy more than I use the wipers out here in Droughtifornia, but at least now I know I won't have to manually turn on the wipers like some sort of savage after all
When they discontinued them, I died a little inside. I'm hoping against hope that there's a miracle and they bring them back in a future refresh (albeit with other interior colors. There's no realistic version of this world where I buy a car with a white interior).

Not to mention that hot water actually freezes faster than cold one, so you might create an additional layer of ice instead.

Agree no issues with the sensor on our AP1 S60 - then again we get less rain here in CO than some places. And it's seldom light rain - it's either raining, or not - so perhaps the issue is with light rain ?
Yep, I know. But it’s still a wee bit confusing to have these ‘other’ releases on top of 2017.50.3 for example. And no easy way to tell that they are for the 3. All the ‘weird’ numbers appear to be ‘3’ releases but maybe we need a different category if this keeps up....
Oh no... now since no. 2 "major" complaint will finally be satisfied (1:15):
I fully expect the drop of 20-30% of number of posts on TMC!
No, that scene is @verygreen telling us he's going home.
Now if we could just outlaw the "I can't believe the $100k Tesla can't do <blah-blah>. My 1995 Ford Escort has that feature" posts, that would kill off another 25%.

I'm surprised they have bifurcated the software but not the release versions. Cleary they're following a {year}.{week}.{build version} pattern, some sort of SemVer. This won't be confusing at all.

Opposite experience for me. I've never find ANY manufacturer's rain sensing wipers to work to my satisfaction, including our previous A6 and A5 which we got rid of when we got the Model S. Though I'd often start in rain sensing mode, I would usually end up manually adjusting wiper speed based on condtions. My brain was considerably better at this than Audi or Mercedes' systems.

I am pleased for you AP2+ folks.
That said, I have never understood the hoohaa around auto sensing wipers. I've used them on multiple cars for about 10 minutes and then never again. They just don't seem to be a good option, especially if you use RainX. I would have gladly surrendered my AP1 functionalty to those of you who really dig this kind of functionality if I could have.

Oh boy if the other systems dissatisfy you then you really would not like the AP1 autowipers!
Personally I don’t mind managing my wipers myself. Getting some initial wiping when raindrops appear is basically the main benefit to me. That way I don’t scramble to turn on the wipers which I admittedly forget to do in a particular car since I live in CA where it rarely rains. I find inevitably I end up being unhappy with the automatic wiping algorithm and manually interval wipe.

Can someone explain why the need for a neural net for rain-sensing wipers? I don't understand. Seems like an overengineering feat to me?
