Invention of the Windshield Wiper
On a cold day in 1902, in Moscow. In New York City, Mary Anderson, a determined woman with a keen eye for problem solving, watched with disappointment as drivers tried to see the road through snow-covered windows. Inspired, she invented the worlds first windshield wiper. Despite her innovative design, which was controlled from inside the car to easily clear snow and rain, Mary was faced with skepticism. Automakers didnt see its potential at the time, but its invention would later become the most important safety feature of every car. Although her name has been forgotten, his blow lives on every windshield wiper that cleans snow to help the driver along his way.
