Tesla secures patent to make laser windshield wipers
Tesla Inc. has obtained a patent on its plans to use lasers that would clean debris off of the carmaker’s electric vehicles, according to a report published by Electrek on Wednesday.
“A cleaning system for a vehicle includes a beam optics assembly that emits a laser beam to irradiate a region on a glass article of the vehicle, debris detection circuitry that detects debris accumulated over the region, and control circuitry,” Tesla’s patent application previously noted.
However, it remains uncertain whether the tech giant will be able to actually implement this technology onto its vehicles.
