Abstract: Safety and driver comfort are the essential goals of new trends in automobile industry. An automatic wiper controller helps not only in increasing safety by reducing distractions but also increases the overall comfort. Such an automatic control is available, however it has limitations of high cost and low efficiency. In this Paper, we aim to provide an automatic wiper controller, based on resistive rain sensor which is cost effective, efficient and has a wide range of output. A complete windshield controlling system has been developed to increase human comfort and flexibility. The wiper has been controlled by a water level sensor which regulates the wiper motor through sensing the level of water or rain. A dust sensor has been integrated to spill some water in the windscreen and then wipe it. It senses when a certain level of dust get accumulated in the screen. The sun visor which is mounted inside the car to shade the driver’s eye from sun would be easier to control by a servo motor.
