I have to say coming from Jeep/RAM and theirs always works great...not having this on my New fully loaded 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4 was a shock.  It's funny what we get used too, but I'd gladly live without lane sensing over Rain Sensing.  Perhaps they need to talk with other manufactures on getting the design/technology right and reincorporate this as I would think twice if I did not have this for future purchase/lease etc...

Exactly, I uesd to have 2019 ram1500 limited and 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee trailhawk, I am used to have the rain sensing wiper. Also the automatic high bean works like trash, ram/jeep didi much better job on that, by trash I mean when Im cruising on highway the high beam will turned on and off even their is car coming front like im flashing them, so awkward I have to turn the automatic high beam off.

I can confirm that the 2021 AT4 with all the bells and whistles still does not come with auto rain sensing wipers.  Why, I don't know.  I had a 2015 F150 Lariat that had it, it should be standard in these higher end trucks especially for what they cost.

This is really one of those weird GM oddities.

 

Sierra SLT and up get Adaptive Cruise, but no rain-sense wipers. 

 

Yet you have to get a Yukon Denali to get ACC on the SUVs... but they DO give you rain-sense. ??‍♂️

I cannot understand this, its such a creature comfort that is simple and blows my mind they have not included it.  When I'm spending close to 100k (cdn) for a truck I expect to get options such as this as STANDARD.  My old BMW, MB from the late 2000's had them as standard options and so did older GM trucks, so I simply do not understand it.

I was really surprised that my 2019 Denali Ultimate lacked  this feature too. Every other vehicle I've owned in the last 15 years has had this feature, so I never even thought to ask about it when I took delivery. Can't think of any reason other than cost cutting that GM didn't include such a simple and proven feature from the truck.

It appears my new 2022 Denali Limited (basically a 2021 Ultimate holdover made in 2022) does not have rain sensing wipers.  I’m very surprised and bummed about this. My 2004/5 Jeep Grand Cherokee had them and they worked great. Would love to retrofit them but that seems highly unlikely. The 2022 Denali Ultimate Refresh is supposed to have it. That vehicle is a mere $7k more and probably another $5k over msrp so I can live without it. Still, that ain’t right.

Just heard the Rod Stewart song on xm coming back from store.  'Some men have all the luck'.  Anyhow part of the chorus rings true to this thread;   "Some men do nothing but complain"

According to the GM Authority site, the new 2022 refreshed Sierra's have them on SLT's and above. I just ordered a 2022 Denali with the Reserve package. I did not see it listed in the preferred equipment group for 5SA. I've had them on a few Cadillacs. Not a big fan. Maybe they've improved?

Didn't MB first come out with this feature?  If so, that may explain why Ram and Jeep had it.  I'm no expert, though.

Not sure. The earliest vehicle I had it on was a 2008 CTS.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
