When the driver of the car has the wipers set too fast or too slow for the rate of rain buildup on the windscreen

to my knowledge i have not seen this feature implemented, although i know we have the technology, but like, they should have the speed of the windshield wipers modulate with the speed of the vehicle. I used to drive a 2003 chevy blazer and the volume on the sound system would do that so I'm pretty sure if they can do it w/ speaker volume they can do it w/ windshield wiper speed.

And if that's not a thing the you're welcome for the billion dollar invention

my wife's car is 10 years old and the wipers have been set to auto the entire time. they modulate themselves very well according to how much water is on the windshield

Rain sensing wipers were a great invention.*

When crap starts hitting a fan, I'd much rather be behind a shield than a screen.

How willing Twitter people are to use the same cliche crap talk over and over. "cope" "rent free" etc.

When the gas pumps are full, there are 7 open spots in front of the store & people that just filled with gas leave their car at the pump to slowly rough ridin' stroll inside rather that pulling into a spot in front of the store.

Also, when there’s 2 pumps in a row & someone stops at the 1st pump instead of pulling through to the 2nd pump. 90% of cars have the gas tank on the drivers side.

I really dislike when people say “the answer is somewhere in the middle”. What kind of fence-sitting chickenshit response is that
