OP The movement of windshield wipers is definitely roll. Yaw would be if someone hit your car and it spun around in a 360. Pitch would be if it went end over end over the guardrail. Double roll would be the windshield wipers plus the car rolling over on its sides.
Probably not related is thinking about musical pitch going up and down. I think of pitching a roof--taking it up high--and musical pitches. And that ship pitching over the waves--its bow rising and falling over the waves. Would the pitch of a ship--the origin of the word--have anything in common with musical pitch?
