>It ain't broke, so stop trying to 'fix' it.
Sure, but the marketing department had to fill a few blanks in the "bad weather options pack" (optional but casually installed on all cars in production that will be available in the next six-eight months) for a mere US$ 3,000:
1) self-learning wipers (using AI to set automatically an appropriate wiping speed, including economode, that only wipes the right side of the windscreen when you make a free turn on right at a traffic light)
2) intelligent defrost (computing the correct defrost temperature through analysis of real-time satellite heat maps)
3) heated and ventilated mats (that can dry your wet shoes and lower half of trousers independently from heating/confitioning settings)
- reilly3000 7y agoInteresting this patent literally just expired today: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5412296 https://patents.google.com/patent/US5412296
- o-__-o 7y agoExpired in 2012, buddy.
- reilly3000 7y agooops, read that last line incorrectly, its more of a status than an event.
- z2 7y agoI hope you make an artistic statement and patent some of these awesome ideas. 1) for conversation starter purposes, and 2) so that we can make sure auto manufacturers never actually do this, or at least you get fabulously rich in the process...
