McLaren is reported to be developing a system that can repel material from a windshield by creating a force field using high-frequency sound waves. Benefits of the system are said to be improved visibility, since debris would be repelled instantly, as well as improved aerodynamic efficiency, due to less drag. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when we might see the system fitted to one of McLaren’s cars.
