Has anybody seen the funky-looking windshield wipers? I saw them in the "celebrate the 3" event. I wonder why they designed the wipers like that.
Sorry I didn't take any picture that night...

They are designed to be quite, and have little wind resistance
Here you can see them

Sorry I didn't take any picture that night... | I was at the car show Saturday morning and I noticed them too. Later in the day I noticed them on lots of other cars - Volkswagen and Audi? Acura, maybe? I don't really recall. Looks like this may be the design of the near future. They're lighter and consist of less parts

If you look at the passengers side wiper, it is at an angle. I guess its hard to hide an angled wiper... But then again, what the heck do I know
