Ways to fully turn off the wiper?

[Crissa]

In my 2017 p100d S there is a physical switch on the stalk that I can put to the off position that overrides FSD wipes. But I was referring to just turing the setting to off always in my 3 and the Cybertruck. 3 is actually 2.5 hw so no FSD but it still uses cameras for auto wipe I just leave it set to off it as always useless. Even the 3 you can Install the “sexy buttons” to override the wiper if you need to. I’m hoping someone comes out with something similar for the Cybertruck to just override the wiper completely.

So really old hardware that doesn't run current FSD, gotcha.

You live in the wrong state.. Move to WA and you'll always need the wipers running.

I just love grinding sand across my windshield and FSD provides that added benefit, over and over, forever. That is what my FSD provides. The screechy sounds emanating while the grains dig in is the best part. If you don't like it, you either have to remove the wiper blade, or not use FSD. Cruise control is less annoying for many reasons, and if it could control velocity without the AI instructions, it would be better yet. I keep thinking of the coat hanger solution to the wiper, so I could manually operate it from inside the vehicle.

It’s running v12 and FSD turning on autowipe has been a thing for quite some time since before v12. I can override it in that car. I’m hoping someone is working on a way to the same in the truck. Why even comment when you have nothing to add?

Because you're running hardware that's allowing you to do something you shouldn't be able to do. You can't tell if the cameras have something obscuring them from inside the cabin.

It does the opposite of clearing the view. We all know it wipes a perfectly clear view for no reason at all. It did it so many times the other day it ended up making the view worse due to the fact that the wiper fluid is useless on the end of the wiper (another bug) which is what goes over the glass. The system as it stands is flawed and would be better off shutting down than attempting to clear itself with a dry wipe while it’s still in supervised phase of deployment. There’s no need to defend it. It’s still beta.

If your wiper fluid is useless, use different fluid.

You want to tell FSD it can't blink. If it thinks there's something there and you stop it, it's going to just deactivate eventually.

It has nothing to do with the fluid. The wiper blade moves too fast for any fluid to be effective at the end of the blade. It clears perfectly fine at the beginning of the arm. And yes, I would 100% prefer the system turn off than for it to smudge itself blind. I’m not sure why you feel the need to constantly defend a system that is in early adopter beta mode. It needs to be tweaked that’s the entire point of us getting this stuff early and giving feedback. There is zero need to try to explain away stuff that is plainly broken.

I don't know why you think you know if there's a smudge in front of the camera while you're driving.

There is no need to ask for features which are wastes of time.

This has been fun Carissa. Setting to ignore now. Enjoy.

Blade.

You can't even spell my name right and you want FSD to ignore when it thinks there's something on the windshield?

Just finished a 1,000 mile drive to Oregon from Reno. Lots of snow and rain, and an opportunity to understand the wiper intelligence. My conclusion is that the auto-wipe setting on FSD can be pretty decent when it rains. It only cares what the camera sees, and not what the passenger sees, and there probably is no way around this. Because the position of the camera and the viewpoint of the driver are different, the car can be driving in FSD when the driver has no visibility due to rain. OK, because the driver can always use the manual buttons for the wiper to see the road.

Upon returning to a dry climate, the familiar and constant screech-screech-screech returned, as the dry wiper blades do something for the camera. Whatever that is, it is not removing moisture.

Yeah it’s buggy for sure. I think it does some kind of light calculation because I frequently notice a lot of the dry wipes coincide with me driving under an overpass.
