No it does not.

However, it does have an option that will set the wipers to the longest delay while stopped, and then shortest delay when the car begins to move.

When you have it on intermittent I believe, when you are stopped, the delay between wipes is longer, if you are moving and the faster you go, the shorter the delay will be between wipes (since water will be hitting you more frequent as you are moving forward)

Literature describes it as "speed-sensing, variable intermittent windshield wipers".

Is this on any of the intermittent settings?

If you spray some windshield cleaner, the wipers do come on automatically.

(and not having a sensor for the windowshield cleaner fluid is almost as annoying as the driveline vibration)
