Tesla patents laser windscreen wiper idea

Tesla has obtained a patent on its wild idea to use lasers to clean debris off of vehicles.

According to patent documents, the laser beam will identify the debris on the glass and burn it.

It is possible that the laser will clean not only the windshield of the car but also other windows of the electric car. One of the main advantages of the function is that it is entirely autonomous and does not require any movement from the driver.

As the patent title suggests, Tesla also thought about using the pulsed laser to clean debris off of solar panels and tiles on roofs.
