New Freightliner trucks lack a manual low intermittent setting for windshield wipers; the auto rain-sensing system defaults to full speed in light rain, causing driver distraction.
Freightliner's rain-sensing wiper system does not offer a manual low-speed or intermittent setting, so drivers cannot reduce wiper speed during very light rain.

App Concept
WiperSense Controller
An aftermarket module that replaces or augments the factory wiper stalk, restoring manual intermittent and low-speed control. It intercepts the rain sensor signal and gives the driver a simple knob to adjust wiper delay, overriding the automatic system. Easy plug-and-play installation for late-model Freightliners and other trucks with overly aggressive auto wipers.
Key Features
- Plug-and-play harness compatible with common Freightliner and other truck models
- Manual intermittent delay knob (2–30 second intervals)
- Low continuous speed override
- Tap-to-wipe gesture support
- LED indicator showing current mode
- Compact dash-mount design no bigger than a coin
Target Users: Professional truck drivers and fleet operators who drive late-model Freightliners (or other trucks with aggressive auto wipers) and need manual wiper control in light rain.
Revenue Model: $89.99 one-time purchase per unit; volume discounts for fleets at $75/unit; optional $5 extended warranty.
