Wiperless windshields in your future? Thanks, nanotech
It's really too bad nanotechnology is so gosh darn morally unacceptable, it could do so much good for humanity! Take this new wiperless windshield, for instance. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina, the Hidra features an aerodynamic design, and a bit of a nanotech sandwich (mmm, sandwich) to keep the front glass clear of water and debris. The first layer protects from sun and repels water, the second layer features "nano-dust" to push dirt to the edges of the windshield and is activated by the third layer which senses the dirt, while the whole kit is powered by the fourth layer which conducts electricity to keep it going. The tech could be ready for mass production within 5 years, but there's already a working prototype in the Hidra concept car.
I hardly ever use my wipers anymore now that I apply Rain X on my windshield - actually I buy the generic Rain Block but it does the trick just as well.
i guess it goes against nature and god lol if we start using it to help us live longer or what not. people will think its scientology trying to take over the world lol

Quite simple actually. They take stem cells and fuse them into the window. What happens next is a mix of magic and science. When the water hits the stem cells, it is absorbed by them, and therefore causing it to disappear. When the rain stops, the stem cells are able to biochemically evaporate the water, leaving a streak free window.
