Cleaner sweep? Tesla's new windshield wiper tech gets a patent
Fox News
Tesla has received a patent for a windshield wiper that uses magnets to move and is able to clean more surface area than a traditional design.
The "electromagnetic windshield wiper system" replaces the traditional setup, where wiper arm s are attached to fixed electric motors that sweep them across an arc. Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's automotive editor.
Instead, it features a linear actuator installed at the bottom of the windshield along which a box moves back and forth like a magnetic train.
