Rain sensing wipers???

Can someone explain how they are supposed to work? I am assuming that the sensor behind the mirror sees rain drops or snow flakes on the windshield and depending on the sensitivity level set in the SID it will activate the wipers. My current '06 9-3 is my second car equipped with them (the other was my '03 9-5) and neither have worked the way I would have expected them to. They are constantly going from slow to ridiculously fast on an intermittent basis. There is no rhyme nor reason to the way they work. The dealer replaced the sensor on the 9-5 and it made no difference. I don't know if I should bother having them look at this car. I just wish I had regular intermittent wipers, these are horrible. I find myself manually clearing the windshield 90% of the time.
