A vehicular windshield wiper control system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing through a windshield of the vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). Electronic circuitry of the ECU includes an image processor. The system, based on processing of image data captured by the camera, is operable to determine presence of a substance at an outer surface of the windshield. The system includes a windshield wiper having a rubber wiping blade and a cleaning element. The system is operable to (i) cause the rubber wiping blade to engage the windshield and/or (ii) cause the cleaning element to engage the windshield. Responsive to determining presence of the substance, the system causes the cleaning element to engage the windshield. With the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element engaging the outer surface of the windshield, the system moves the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element along the windshield.
