The humidity in the air (water) condensates and freezes on the air conditioner evaporator (under your dash) and forms ice. The air conditioner cycles on and off to control temperature and to allow the ice to melt and the water from the melted ice falls out a rubber tube on the firewall of the car and to the ground.

As the temperature of air is lowered by the Air Conditioner, the rate at which energy is transferred is reduced to an ever-increasing extent. Instead of the energy being transferred between molecules, it is stored in the hydrogen bonding fluctuations within the increasingly large clusters that occur at lower temperatures. When the thermal energy is increased it shifts the ESCS equilibrium towards the CS structure, which possesses greater flexibility and has a greater number of bent hydrogen bonds, rather than the transference of kinetic energy. It is likely that there will be a minimum in the thermal conductivity-temperature behavior at about -30°C as the amount of fully expanded network increases and in line with that indicated by the much higher value found for ice 1h.
If the density is kept constant the thermal conductivity is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature, between 100°C and 400°C, Therefore, liquid water appears to be coming out of the AC

ACs have a radiator that gets cold, the fan pushes the air in the room through it and the humidity in the air gets condensed on the metal of the radiator, so it changes from invisible to visible water and drips down.
Same thing happens on a glass of cold soda on a humid day.

humidity from the air is condensing on the air conditioning evaporator core since it is much colder than the air that is being blown through it.

What they said. That's why almost all new cars use the A/C when you switch on the defrost mode, it removes the moisture from the air and clears the windows up.

I am not positive but, I would say that it is the condensation in the air and humidity.

lol,condensation,when hot meets cold. same as when you open your fridge on a hot day,you will see this.
