Tesla to Zap Dirt With Lasers

January 29, 2020

The latest cleaning technology is using lasers to remove unwanted substances from surfaces. The global laser cleaning market is projected to grow at 4.5% over the period from 2018 to 2025.

Tesla is jumping on the bandwagon by filing a patent for windscreen wipers that use laser beams to bun away dirt from its cars’ windshields, European Cleaning Journal reports.

The patent notes that the process of removing dirt with soap and water results in unproductive time spent waiting for glass to dry. Tesla’s pulsed-laser cleaning solution will not damage the cars’ components or the eyes of the vehicle occupants.

Laser cleaning is being used more often in industrial and commercial facilities to remove paint, rust, and scale from walls and other surfaces. It provides an environmentally friendly and nonabrasive alternative to chemicals and traditional blasting systems. However, laser cleaning can cost more and require the skills of a trained specialist.
