In my car the wipers are severely under aggressive.
The cameras used to enable/disable the wipers are just too high mounted and too close to the glass, that's why we all experience these inconsistency. They don't reflect what the driver sees, because with the cameras mounted higher, they get different airflow than the area the driver sees through. The rain drops are extremely close to the camera, so depending on what lighting conditions are like, it may not even notice the rain drops that a driver would, or one big drop might trigger it, even though the windshield is mostly clear. The drops are out of the cameras' focal range. True rain sensors should have been a hard requirement, they work perfectly in every other vehicle I've driven with them.
A dedicated wiper stalk would be very helpful too, or at a minimum a way to toggle through the wiper modes with the button.
