Tesla wants to redefine car wipers

Tesla has had a lot of innovation over the years, but it may be about to have an innovation that helps overcome one of the car's most "persistent" features: the wipers.

According to the Road and Track page, in a patent application filed with the licensing agency, the car manufacturer described a very different way of wipers operation . Instead of using simple circulating electric motors, the Tesla design attaches a wipers to the electromagnetic guides, which makes it more efficient by reducing friction and allowing the wipers to cover a lot of area. than with one scan.

However, like many patents, there is no indication of when or whether the design will go into production. But the patent description mentions that increasingly complex glass shapes will require new solutions.

For example, Tesla's upcoming Roadster sports car concept, equipped with a single large blade-shaped wiper mounted to a central pivot point via the arms, provides a sophisticated scan motion. . However, this wipers seem difficult to collapse, detrimental to the aerodynamics of the car, while the electromagnetic setting is hidden under the body when not in use.
