Apropos of which, the Marketplace radio program yesterday said that Tesla Motors just filed its patent for using lasers as windshield wipers.

 

<All together now> What could possibly go wrong?

 

Especially with autonomous vehicles? Everyone loves robots with death rays!

Hmm, that could be an billionaire rivalry thing, at least initially.  If the lasers are put in as I expect they should be (below the windshield, and with glancing incidence for the beams on the windshield) then the reflected power goes upward. 

 

That means a fleet of autonomous vehicles becomes a large scale upward laser battery ... perhaps for antiaircraft, but also perhaps for antisatellite purposes.  So this could be intended to mess with other billionaires' satellite megaconstellations.  Intriguing idea.  I never imagined that it might shake out that there were two Skynet-like entities, and they were primarily concerned with taking out the other network first.

 

Hmmmm.
