AutoExec Summary
Tesla is planning to make their cars even more futuristic by replacing traditional windscreen wipers with laser beams. The company has filed a patent for the technology, which aims to clean all glass areas of the car using laser emitters. The patent also suggests that the laser system could be used to keep camera lenses clean, reducing the potential for errors in driver assistance systems. This move is in line with Tesla’s history of using technology to find innovative solutions, such as replacing car keys with Bluetooth phone applications. The laser cleaning system is just one of many modern tech-based solutions Tesla is pursuing.
