A wiper control device includes: a wiper element; and a drive unit configured to control on/off of the wiper element. The drive unit is configured to decelerate a wiper by switching the wiper element from on to off to stop power supply from the wiper element to a motor of the wiper when a wiper angle reaches a deceleration start angle. The drive unit is configured to resume the power supply from the wiper element to the motor by switching the wiper element from off to on after the wiper angle reaches the deceleration start angle.

A vehicle including a windshield, a sensor unit, a first wiper, a second wiper and a processor is disclosed. The sensor unit may be configured to determine inputs associated with a presence of water on the windshield in a sensor unit's field of view (FOV). The processor may determine a first amount of water added to the windshield in the sensor unit's FOV during a first time duration and a second amount of water added to the windshield in the sensor unit's FOV during a second time duration based on the inputs obtained from the sensor unit. The first and second time durations may be based on the movements of the first and second wipers on the windshield. The processor may further calculate a difference between the first amount and the second amount, and control an operation of the first and second wipers based on the difference.

A vehicle control device controls a vehicle configured to perform parking and exiting by a remote operation. The vehicle includes a cleaning device configured to clean a predetermined portion of an exterior of the vehicle, and the vehicle control device enables an operation of the cleaning device during the parking performed by the remote operation and restricts the operation of the cleaning device during the exiting performed by the remote operation.
