Consumer Description
Tesla adaptive cruise control requires user to put the windshield wipers to automatic functioning. However, the auto wipers have a high false positive detection rate, which leads to the wipers unnecessarily turning on while I'm driving. Even after exiting adaptive cruise control, the wipers stay on auto. This is extremely problematic because it makes me have my eyes + one one hand off of the wheel to turn the wipers off. Please put pressure on Tesla to remove faulty auto-wipers software from adaptive cruise control. It's dangerous and distracting.
