Sounds like super Rain-X that never wears off the windshield. Neat idea, but will the window shatter when it -30*F? Or are windows going to have be made out of lexan or other type of plastic? When sitting still in the rain with a fresh Rain-x'd windshield the rain does fall off quite nicely but most people I know have trouble with "focusing beyond the raindrops" and would quickly crash if they didn't have wipers sweeping away 3 spots of rain every 10 seconds

The sonic windshield would probably work better than rain-x at high speeds though, but the aero of the cars would have be reconsidered to ensure the water sweeps away quickly to maintain clear visibility. More raked windshield (water over the car) or more vertical with more curvature (water swept to side)?

We should all be jumping for joy, adapter kits won't be too far out and we can all buy them to make out wiper delete mods less "crazy"!!!
