Comment on Technology Connections - The simple, clever sensor behind automatic windshield wipers

As he alludes to, this is different on Teslas. Where in an attempt to save a few bucks on a simple sensor they’re using “machine learning” to detect rain with the front-facing camera and it doesn’t fucking work.
To be fair, a few dollar sensor would also require a harness, space on the windshield, some computing power, and a bunch of wiring.
They have a history of being cheap, and it’s worth it to make it work, but it’s quite an exaggeration to say it’s just the sensor they’re saving money on.

NO SENSOR ONLY CAMERA

The camera is many sensors.
You can overload anything by tasking it to do too much.
