> I mean does someone somehow forget to turn on their wipers when it's raining
I personally really like my auto-wipers. Not because I forget to turn them on, but because when it rains here in Phoenix (an admittedly infrequent event), we go from regular rain to no rain to misting to hurricane style rain in the course of a 10 minute period. It's extremely convenient being able to set it to auto and not have to constantly fiddle with the speeds as the desert rains rapidly change. It lets me focus on the roads more, which is a must during rain here because people seem to forget how to drive on wet roads here.
