Moisture detection spot controls windscreen wipers

A section of windscreens has moisture detection, prob using conduction. Maybe a pressure sensor? maybe capacitive

It's hooked up to the control of the windscreen wipers.

Harder it rains, harder they go

       I've seen these work and their awesome. We would splash a glass of water on the windscreen and watch the wipers come alive! Don't you hate it when you invent the best idea ever just to find out its baked?!

       And there should also be headlights that come on automatically in the dark!
