Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina has made a prototype car, the Hidra, windshield wiperless. The main point about the car is that it has a 4-layer nanotech windshield that manages to push debris off of the windshield. Basically no windshield wipers.
The nanotech windsield is made up of the following 4-layers:
- The First layer repels water and filters the sun.
- The second layer is made of “nano-dust” which magically pushes dirt to the edges of the glass.
- The third layer activates the “nano-dust” when it senses dirt on the windshield.
- The fourth layer is basically the electricity backbone of the contraption.
The technology is 5 years out before it “may” see mass production. I would really like to see a video of this magical windshield in action. Frankly, I am suspicious of its ability to remove a monster bird poop.
