Didn't Know Auto Wipers are in Beta

[wynnek]

Recently I've had many occasions when the wipers engage while in Auto mode with no rain at all.
I opened a service appt. last week. I had a mobile appt. for this Thursday, but today I received a
message they were closing the request because Auto is still in Beta mode and still needs to
improve via normal software updates.

Just like with autopilot, I expect the wipers will remain in “beta” indefinitely and Tesla will use that as an excuse for why they don’t work properly.

Does this mean that auto high beams are also in Beta?

I don't see any indication of this in the Owner's Manual (unlike Auto wipers).

Auto wipers use the windshield cameras to detect the rain. Most other cars (not Tesla) use a dedicated IR moisture sensor (located next to the rear view mirror).

In the Y, a bug splash or dirt in front of the cameras will activate the wipers, rain or no rain. One time, I had to deactivate the auto wipers until I cleaned the dead bugs at the top of the windshield. To make the wiper operate somewhat properly, I apply wax (or ceramic coating) to the top part of the windshield, in front of the camera lens.
