Wiper system and method

A wiper system configured to execute a computer-implemented method on data processing hardware that causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

• based on adjustment of a power mode of a vehicle from an ON state to an OFF state, and based on a current operation mode of the wiper system of the vehicle comprising an active state, storing the current operation mode of the wiper system;
• based on the stored current operation mode comprising the active state, and responsive to adjustment of the power mode of the vehicle from the OFF state to the ON state, operating the wiper system in an inactive state and generating a notification to an occupant of the vehicle;
• and
• based on the stored current operation mode being the active state, and responsive to passage of a threshold period of time after generating the notification to the occupant of the vehicle, operating the wiper system in the active state.

A vehicle comprising:

• a wiper system configured to execute a computer-implemented method on data processing hardware that causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
• based on adjustment of a power mode of a vehicle from an ON state to an OFF state, and based on a current operation mode of the wiper system of the vehicle comprising an active state, storing the current operation mode of the wiper system;
• based on the stored current operation mode comprising the active state, and responsive to adjustment of the power mode of the vehicle from the OFF state to the ON state, operating the wiper system in an inactive state and generating a notification to an occupant of the vehicle;
• and
• based on the stored current operation mode being the active state, and responsive to passage of a threshold period of time after generating the notification to the occupant of the vehicle, operating the wiper system in the active state.
