#2032: EyeWiper

It seems that IOTD gets a namecheck in connection with how ideas drive growth -here: “The Great Courses“.

Today’s invention is therefore dedicated to my friend, and notable academic, Scotte Page.

Much has been said about windscreen wipers. Today’s invention is a system which has a camera monitoring the onset of the vehicle driver’s next eyeblink.

When that happens, a superfast windscreen wiper is activated, so that the dreadful, rhythmic thrashing that occurs on wet days goes unseen and thus avoids limiting his/her field of view.
