This is a UI/UX problem. Not to derail, but it's the same problem I have with wanting to increase fan speed on the air conditioning. While I'm driving, I have to manually reach over and tap the fan, then tap the screen specifically at the spot on the screen for the increase/decrease button. (we all know this) But this is where it is similar to the wiper blades - most of the time I miss the buttons.
I'm not old, I don't have trembling hands, I am not crazy, it's called just simple small buttons and bumpy roads. So I have to deliberately focus on the screen. I have to deliberately anchor my hands. I deliberately press the buttons. This is not quick or easy really, even when I know precisely where the button is on the screen.
We chastise our kids for using cell phones while driving for exactly this reason. Anything that forces your attention away from driving adds risk.
I can live with the A/C issue since that isn't something that ever requires attention. It's vanity by comparison.
If holding the left stalk button keeps the blades going then great, but that might be a slow rate. I do believe there needs to be a way to turn on and increase rate of blades without taking eyes off the road. I've been in sudden downpours before and it's highly unnerving. Perhaps a double press of the left button? If it's off/auto it goes to 1 ... if it's 1, goes to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to off.
