Have you been suffered from the heavy rain when you are driving with the rain dashing on your front window? Not only will the rain have a bad influence on the life of people but also causes big hidden trouble to the traffic condition, especially for drivers. The views of drivers are severely hampered when quantities of the rain dashes the windows, as a result, the common manual windshield wipers can not solve this problem at all. Safety driving becomes an issue that needs to be solved immediately.

Now, rain sensors can settle the problem on a large extent. When drivers are on a wet road, they don not need to start the wipers by their own, in stead, the sensor can do it. Therefore, drivers will dive with all the attention and the accident rate will be reduced on a large extent. The sensors have been seen as the good protector for drivers.

The sensor is the one that makes use of the electrooptical technology and is set behind the windshield. Based on the theory of optics, it can detect the rain or snow on the windshield so that data can be collected, then it will control the speed of the wipers after accurate calculation of the rainfall by micro computers.

Now, more and more such sensors have been set in cars to improve safety and comfort largely. With the sensor, cars can respond quickly to the sudden rain dashed on the window and clean it immediately so that drivers will be able to see clearly. Sometimes there is heavy rainfall and sometimes it is small, it is a waste of time for drivers to start the wipers by themselves, however, with help of the sensors, drivers will not be distracted and only to hold the steering wheels. In a word, the sensor can help to avoid accident effectively in raining days. Related chip is:MSM5260 .
