Why do car wipers sweep the screen in an arc as opposed to sliding across it horizontally? Horizontal wipers seem a good idea to me because they can give much better wider coverage. Car manufacturers should give customers the choice between arc-sliding wipers or horizontal sliding ones. My only exception to automatic arc-sliding wipers would be human-powered ones. The only problem with that design might be that the driver might have to get out of the car to turn it on, or off...

      Until a day comes when all cars can emit clean gas, what about having aromatic car exhaust filters that make emissions smell like perfume, plants or flowers and not like mechanic farts? Wouldn't that help make our cities friendlier to live even though the level of pollution would still be the same? Even if clean emissions become reality one day, shouldn't we still require aroma to be emitted as a way to achieve large scale urban aromatherapy for all cityzens?

      See the cars here all parked a few feet away from the pavement! Can you guess why? It's because the drivers don't want any other car to be parked right behind as they won't be able to park out and leave...
