I have just returned to Ontario on a long road trip. I upgraded to 2020.4.1 in New Orleans and headed back to Ottawa the the next day. Over the 3 day trip I encountered precipitation of all types, from warm drizzle through tropical thunderstorms. Moving north we had just rain, then wet snow and finished off with squalls and snow storms as I got close to home.
Throughout this journey, auto wipers failed to work. In heavy rain, it might decide to wipe at the lowest setting, most of the time the wipers just sat there. I rebooted the car a couple of times, but that did not make a difference. I did an experiment on a empty stretch of road and waited to see how long it would take for the wipers to activate. it took a few seconds of no forward view before I got one lazy wipe. I used manual wipe for most of the journey and my finger got tired hitting the stalk.
I had given up all hope of any auto action when the wipers suddenly started working but that only lasted for about 20 seconds.
How in 2020 is this *sugar* acceptable? I tried to raise a bug report, but that no longer seems to work. My car is going in to the service center on Monday for battery vents, I will bring this up and make sure it gets documented.
