Rain sensors. Common on Buicks for over 20 years. They look at the windshield reflecting the  infrared light it shines on it.

My 21 Ram has intermittent wipers that speed up when it rains harder. 

All the way to up full speed inn a deluge.

There is a rain-sensor on the windshield.  It is an optical device.  Probably 50% of autos sold today have them.

At least it does it for me and the control is on the multi switch. All of the other controls I have to look at the manual and decide where to touch the screen.

The truck is smart enough to lock up many of those controls if it's in gear.
