That's speed sensitive intermittent wiper and not rain-sensing wiper.On the Clarity, if you have the intermittent wipers on, they will slow down when you are stopped at a red light etc. That may be what they are referring to.
You may be confusing it with what they call the Smart Wiper System. It’s what Honda calls the window washing system on the clarity.
Here is some info on it

This strikes me as a combination of marketing and the attitude that more tech is always better.The design really doesn't work.
It's weird. The car overall is very well engineered. No one will agree with all of the decisions, but overall they did a good job on the major things. It's the little things that seem oddly ignored. The windshield washing mechanism is one. Another is the lack of blind-spot monitoring like they have on other models, and the cross-traffic detection in the rear, another option commonly available on Honda vehicles but not this one. I find that the cruise control works much differently on the Clarity than on my CRV, which surprises me given that the controls and documentation are the same for both vehicles. The auto-lock seems problematic; I've never had an issue with my CRV but it's so erratic with the Clarity that it's essentially not usable. I love the Clarity but I just don't understand how they missed the boat so badly on a few of the relatively minor features.Classic fail on Honda’s part on a great car otherwise. How sad.
The one virtue of having the inadequate fluid come out of the arm instead a squirter below the windshield is that it doesn't get full of frozen snow and ice. But why they arranged it to only squirt out of one side of the blade and that to the outside is beyond me.
If it squirted out of both sides, that would be a great improvement.

Good work. I had to visit the dealer. Felt pretty foolish.Quite a puzzler, but I eventually figured it out.
