I hear you. I never use autowipe because it won't wipe until long after I'm functionally blinded

That would be awesome. Imagine an autopilot style nag if the car detects you riding the left / passing lane. GTFO Left Lane .
Tesla could patent it and sell it too all other car makers, Toyota, specially Prius'es need this badly.

Posts like this make me sad. I sometimes feel like I was the only Prius owner that hung out in the right lane unless I was passing.

A wet drizzly night here in the greater Seattle area. It was perfect for flagging a LOT of scenarios where the auto wipers currently struggle. I gave it a good workout, and had one finger on the wiper stalk button for much of my evening commute. Parked at home now in wifi range, and hopefully it'll eventually upload some data back to the mothership for consideration.

How odd, I just got 2019.36.2.4 right now.... July 2019 SR+ with HW3 (but not FSD). I just want faster supercharging! Lol

It seems like a smarter path for training the neural wiper net would have been to include the same $2 sensor every other manufacturer uses, and have it provide feedback to the camera-based auto wiper software on scenarios it missed rather than only now saying that user initiated wipes will inform the camera-based system of its failures. Why is that just now being implemented?
And had Tesla trained the wiper net in the background with the standard sensor acting as the primary control and training data for the last couple of years they probably could have avoided their terrible auto wipe functionality entirely and just made the switch to the camera and phased out including the sensor once they confirmed the camera was as good as the sensor.
But I guess that’s entirely too practical or something. Might as well cut a tiny sensor cost, suffer some reputational harm for crappy/dangerous auto wipers, and hope the engineers/neural net get it working on par with every other car someday.

Thanks for posting this!
I wouldn't be surprised if you see an Electrek or InsideEVs article about your car soon
