A car without windshield wipers


Italian car designer Leonardo Fioravanti (who worked for Pininfarina for a number of years) has developed car prototype without windshield wipers.

This amazing technological feat is made possible thanks to the use of 4 layers of glass modified using nanotechnology. The first layer filters the sun and repels the water. The second layer, using 'nano-dust' is able to push dirt to the side. The third layer acts as a sensor that activates the second layer when it detects dirt, while the fourth layer is a conductor of electricity to power this complex mechanism.
