Lightbulb Automatic blades?

well i did a search and looked, but really did not find anything on this. mostly found people with broken blades..any how i recently bought a brand new set of rain x lattitude blades. im not trying to promote em but they were amazing

my question to you guys is are our windshield wiper system, is it a rain sensative one? because i notice when i stop the blades go to the slowest setting and then as i start to drive off they go back to a setting where it goes to the setting it was previously on. i could have sworn one day when i was driving the faster i went while it was rainging the faster the blades went, but now that i thought about it i dont see it doing it anymore..am i crazy or does anyone have an idea?

if you go slower than 20mph they will slow down. it's on the info page. and if you lift your foot off the brake when you're stopped it will do 1 wipe.

No, Acura and Honda set the speed of the wiper based on the speed of your car. The faster you go, the shorter the time interval of your wiper.
