American inventor Mary Anderson is popularly credited with devising the first operational windshield wiper in 1903. In Anderson's patent, she called her invention a "window cleaning device" for electric cars and other vehicles. It was operated manually by a lever inside the vehicle.
There were at least 2 other similar patents filed in 1903 for devices of this type.
Usually the early wipers were manually operated (hopefully by the passenger not the driver) although some patents suggested use of vacuum motor or electric motor drive as a possibility.
