Just imagine the fun when you're wipers start to work when your eyes are following a beauty on the road and your wife sits besides you!
Haha good point.Just imagine the fun when you're wipers start to work when your eyes are following a beauty on the road and your wife sits besides you!
Like rain sense wipers this stuff never works as good as it was intended.
Some report the sensor picking up the transponder they mount to their windshield and always saying on due to it. Hope jag's aren't like that.The rain sensing wipers in my Audi work flawlessly, and they activate exactly on time, without request from the driver. I have been quite impressed with them. I will be disappointed if the XE's wipers are any less functional.
That might help but with it still being on the windshield, it's still on the windshield and the sensors job is to monitor the windshield.Couldn't you just mount the transponder in a different spot on your wind shield in order to prevent that from happening.
Jaguars don't even have rear wipers for the most part. Apparently this tech will go on the Land Rover lineup and the upcoming F-Pace SUV.The patent notes, rightly, that rear
wipers have some essential problems. On wet roads or in rain,
constant wiping is rarely necessary but intermittent sweeps are often
mistimed, so at the instant you glance in the mirror there’s a good
chance the view through the back screen will be obscured. Cue the
eye-tracking tech …
According to the patent, using JLR’s
system, when your eye moves towards the rear mirror and the rear
wiper is set to "intermittent," the car will automatically give
the screen an extra wipe (provided it hasn’t just done one a moment
before), so it’s sure to be clear at just the moment you need to
see through it.
I have a different opinion -- I find rear wipers to be quite useful in heavy rain and wish they were more commonly fitted to cars in the US.Good thing it's only limited to those two when it comes to having a rear wiper, hated how back in the days even coupes had rear wipers, thankfully the F-Type coupe doesn't have one.
That is true, I like the functionality but have gotten so used to using my defrosters when appropriate. Plus i line all windows with rainx which helps.I have a different opinion -- I find rear wipers to be quite useful in heavy rain and wish they were more commonly fitted to cars in the US.
Is rainx a water resistant thing? I could see that being really useful for wind shields.That is true, I like the functionality but have gotten so used to using my defrosters when appropriate. Plus i line all windows with rainx which helps.
Yes it is.Is rainx a water resistant thing? I could see that being really useful for wind shields.
I wouldn't say no to the wipers if they come with the car, but i also don't think I would opt for them if I had to pay extra. Some car features that are out these days seem too convenient. I'm capable of flicking a switch for wipers, I don't need eye-controlled automatic ones.
Some of the tuners out there will remove the wipers "for a cleaner look". They're fools...Yes it is.
Of course you wouldn't so no to wipers if they came with a car, who in their right mind would even consider removing them?
I can't recall when a wiper was even optional.
Stupid move.Some of the tuners out there will remove the wipers "for a cleaner look". They're fools...
