"Stephenson didn’t go into detail but explained that an ultrasonic transducer on the screen could send 30 kHz waves of ultrasound across the surface and repel all debris--even snow and insects."

My guess is it might cost a wee more to 'replace' these wipers when 'they' go bad than what we've been used to.
