Man, your posts clearly indicate you are not a fan of Tesla. You take every opportunity to bash.
Which model do you own. How long have you had it. ?
can I ask what happened to turn you to this state ?

No. I am not mistaken. While the car is on cruise control( not auto pilot) the wiper is wiping for no reasons and you no way can turn the wipers off!!. Brought the car in to Tesla shop and they know about this problem. Software BUG! The software is in BETA mode for a few years! This happens intermittently they said but it happened to us on our first long driving trip from southern to Northern California. We simply could not use cruise control!
every-time the car goes under the overpass, the wipers is activated as the camera see shade and mistake rain! weird!
I also hope those of you buying 2023 model Y know that the car has no sensors. Don’t wait for chimes! you might hit something.

Stupid work flow seems to be a feature of a lot of automation. I will be taking a trip in the rain today and will try this out.
Just a few days ago I lost the argument with my very recently purchased M3RWD about when the wipers should be on. I kept mashing the button and shouting "Wipers OFF!" but the sullen, silent and obstinate thing just ignored me.

It was less than 3 miles from the SC where I had just taken delivery of my M3RWD that I discovered some of the car's idiosyncrasies. As I drove into a patch of dappled shade the wiper started flailing wildly. Not more than a block later in another patch of shade the car suddenly braked for no reason apparent to me. I'm sure the guy behind me thought I was a complete moron. The hour and a half drive home was nerve wracking as I had no clue as to what the stupid thing might do next. With all the YT reviews had I watched you would think I would have been better prepared for the experience.
Now, grain of salt.. new to the car and all.
I was having this issue too. I don't know how things "were" in previous versions.
I can understand that wipers can (and should) be tied to autopilot for safety reasons. And, because the car doesn't have a "dumb" cruise control, I also see that extending to TACC. (If the spot right infront of a lens is obstruted by rain, it also won't see the car that stopped more in front)
I live in a frozen wasteland, full of ice and salt. I did a deep-cleaning of my windshield there - windex. It got a thin layer of grime off that area that was otherwise invisible to me (As it was out of my line of sight). I haven't had phantom wipes since.
Now, the sensitivity can likely be addressed in a future update - but I'd reckon that many people with issues simply have a dirty window.

Actually, I stand corrected. You CANNOT turn the wipers off when autopilot is engaged. I tested this in recent rainy weather and watched the indicator switch from OFF to AUTO when I engaged autopilot. Very stupid way to have it work since the auto sensing is generally garbage.
Not to be a Tesla apologist… but it is TACC, not CC. It requires cameras to see how far from traffic it is. It requires a clean window to see traffic.
Try cleaning the window by the cameras. Once I took windex and a paper towel it cleaned up my overachieving wipers. Even though the windows may look clean. I haven’t had an issue since (3 weeks)

It’s interesting how this happens to some, and not others. I’ve never even once had it occur whether my windshield is clean or not, nor have I heard of it happening to my of my friends.

I can't get mine to stop with audible command to stop wipers when I'm in auto pilot. Works fine when I'm not. But whenever I'm in autopilot, the wipers run continuously.
You can adjust the speed manually when autopilot is engaged, you just can't turn them off. Are you saying that you can't adjust the speed at all with voice control when AP is engagee?
I just got back from a trip, and drove home at night. It was dry and warm. The wipers kept coming on, despite no rain. The voice command 'wipers off' would sometimes stop them for a while, but then they would start wiping again. Very annoying. There apparently is no way to make them stop. Using the screen controls does not stop them. Tesla Y LR 2023 without FSD. Seems like a good way to scratch your window glass and wear out good wiper blades.
