Murf,
Not to get way off topic here, but my wife's Lexus automatic wipers are activiated by light refraction. The sensor mounted inside the window behind the rear-view mirror measures light refraction through a water drop and activates the wipers. And of course a computer chip monitors amount and frequency of moisture and controls the activaton and speed of the wiper.
Not sure as to your vehicle manufacturer, but I think most automatic wipers work on the light refraction principal.

Murf,
Upon further review....
We are both right. Here is an explanation I found on line:
The sensor projects infrared light into the windshield at a 45-degree angle. If the glass is dry, most of this light is reflected back into the sensor by the front of the windshield. If water droplets are on the glass, they reflect the light in different directions -- the wetter the glass, the less light makes it back into the sensor.
After I posted my previous comment, I got to thinking...Murf is never wrong and could I be wrong? So I went to the web and found the above explanation.
This reminds me of what my fishing buddy always says: I have only been wrong once in my life....and that's when I just THOUGHT I was wrong.
Please forgive me questioning you 
Brian

Or, "I've never been wrong. Okay, once, but I was just mistaken"

Not at all Brian, in fact I have been wrong many times.
As just one example, I'm on my third wife. 
Best of luck.
