Installed update 2019.40.50.7 last night and wipers now respond to voice commands. Haven't yet tried all the possible commands but 'turn wipers on' and 'turn wipers to auto' certainly work. Whoopee!

Except the whole point of auto wipers, is to make them work correctly automatically with out any need of assistance
Oh it was not exactly difficult to just press the end of the stalk to make them come on once either.
The problem with the eternal auto-wipers discussion is that it’s gone from being dangerous a few updates ago to being just like other cars in that it now suits some and annoys others. IMHO the dangerous lack of reaction has now gone. We’re instead into the discussion that happens in all forums where everyone describes whether or not the frequency of the wipe is correct when it’s really about what they want as an individual. I often ride in taxis and wonder why the driver wants the wipers going nuts or why the driver thinks it’s ok to drive with only an occasional wipe but then I realise that’s just my preference and the taxi’s operational mode is his/hers.I've never had a car yet with auto wipers where I haven't had to override the auto setting at some time
not exactly difficult, but you do (or perhaps it's just me) get fed up with having to do it every 10 seconds when fine rain starts and you can't take your attention off the road to turn on the wipers manually.
Agreed, the auto ought to work, but I thought the voice control was a nice extra feature to have until (this year, next year, sometime, never) the auto is sorted out.
They don't work for me either. Same with a lot of other commands.Some of the new voice commands are great, but some just don't work for me at all in the UK.
In particular setting a temperature (eg "set temperature to 19") simply doesn't work at all and just responds that it's "enabled climate control" but doesn't change the temp. (I also tried reasonable range Fahrenheit temps in case they just forgot Celsius but that made no difference)
Also trying "send a text message to <name>" never succeeds.
Both of those were listed in the update notes as things that should work, and I see it recognise the speech correctly, but then fail to perform the command.
Anyone else have those work in the UK?
Use the more fun saying for this! My kids love it!You can also turn on seat heaters with voice control. Just say "Turn on Driver or Passenger or rear seat heaters" and they turn on. Do the same to turn it off. "Turn off Passenger Seat Heater" pretty cool stuff.
