Wipers on cars play a very important role in driver safety, because wiper performance is closely related to increasing driving safety. If it rains heavily and the car doesn't use the wipers, the windshield will fog up. Fog sticking to the window glass will obstruct the driver's view, If the driver's vision is blurry, the risk of a traffic accident is very high. This makes windshield wipers a very important car accessory and a must-have for every vehicle.
Wipers on car windows may be one part of a car that has not changed since the technology was first applied to four-wheeled vehicles and above.. The use of rubber for glass cleaning seems to be ancient. That's what Tesla thinks at least. They are currently preparing glass cleaning technology with laser beams. However, recently Tesla, which is an electric car company from California, This US filed a patent for a windshield wiper using laser light. This laser beam will clean dirt from the surface of the windshield. According to Driven the sensor will detect if there is debris, crumbs or particles on the glass surface. Then the laser will work automatically to clean it. This is one of the technologies that is quite sophisticated and can really help drivers.
Tesla has said that the laser beam will operate at such a level that it will not penetrate the glass to cause damage. However, It should be noted that using laser wipers will not work optimally if the camera is not attached to the vehicle and is blocked by dirt.
The cleaning system for a vehicle includes an optical beam assembly that emits a laser beam to illuminate an area on the vehicle glass, dirt detector that detects dirt accumulated in the area, and control circuits. This factor causes errors in screen detection, does it need to be cleaned from dust or rainwater?. Besides that, It is feared that the presence of a laser will obstruct the driver's view when driving on the road.
