I was walking back to my apartment after a short meeting on campus. My route takes me through a parking lot, and usually I’m so lost in my music that I don’t pay attention to things around me. But today, something caught my eye.
A Volvo’s headlights had tiny windshield wipers.
I wish I had my camera with me, because I can’t find a picture of it online. I’m walking to campus again tomorrow, and will take my camera. Maybe I’ll see it again.
Would you want windshield wipers for your headlights?
What will they think of next? A car that parks itself? haha I’ve never thought about wipers for my headlights, but I’ve OFTEN wished I had them for my glasses!
Ummm…so are the sideview mirror defrosters on my minivan also unnecessary? Not that I’ve ever used them here in Hell, but maybe when I’m home for Christmas…And I’m impressed Volvo has them. I’ve only ever seen the tiny wipers on BMW’s and Benz’. Ah to be priveleged…
i’ve seen then on saabs. they’re for european cars apparently. as for defrosting mirrors – i’m a fan.
