My wife is speed sensative....... The faster I drive the more she complains, this feature works like a charm every time I try it. Perhaps I will have her hold onto the wiper switch when we drive together which in turn should solve the problem.

I completely agree. I will turn on the lights and wipers when I want to, not have the car decide for me. Yes, too much Big Brother.

If the system allows for choice, then the hardheads still will be driving with no wipers and no headlights in the rain, or whatever is falling from the sky.
Of course, for those who never drive their Vette in the rain, the whole system will go to waste.
