MAGIC VISION CONTROL -- Mercedes-Benz Windshield Wipers

MAGIC VISION CONTROL cleans the windscreen without the splash of water that usually briefly disrupts the driver's field of view in the case of conventional windscreen washing systems -- something that is especially unpleasant at night or when the sun is low in the sky and at high speeds. It's also the first windscreen wipe/wash system anywhere in the world to operate intelligently via three partly autonomous was programs -- for summer, for winter and for cabriolet driving. The system works in accordance with the outside temperature and automatically adapts the washer fluid quantity to the surrounding conditions -- Now see the truly amazing technology at work.

So glad for this, my washer fluid annual budget was killing me.

I broke one of my windshield wipers.

Dealership: Will you be using a credit card or do you want financing?

[douchebaggins]

Holy crap I needed this, I can't even count the times I've almost careened over a hill because of that . 2 of a second before the blades kicked in. And I'm not even going to say how much my wiper fluid budget is, I mean I go through at least a gallon of that stuff every couple of years. I'm buying this car. Thanks Mercedes..

“Was there really anything wrong or dangerous about the old design?”
“No but these windshield wipers cost 10x more and have to be installed by Mercedes technicians”
“Amazing”

And I'm only discovering this 6 years later

“Uses 50% less water!”
Also is 150% more costly than normal Bosch

After living in many different parts of the country, dealing with heavy rain, sleet, snow, dust and heavy bug splatter. I can really appreciate this new innovation. Daily I struggle with the dust and dried on bug splatter here in the desert. I can't tell you how many times I had to guess where I was in a lane because of heavy rain or wait for an opportune time to use the fluid just for headlight reflection in rain. This is truly an underrated innovation and I am 1000% behind it. Absolute genius to improve an "age old" process. Wish I was there for that "a-ha!" moment. love it.

Seems to works great on a perfectly clean windshield during a beautiful sunny day!

"It's gonna be 3 weeks and 5 grand to fix your car."
"Holy crap, it's it something serious?"
"Well, we have to replace your windscreen wipers."

When you thought this tech was cutting edge,
But you’re 7 years late to the video...

No clickbait, no advertisements, just pure, raw content!

[markmolloy]

great to see this new system, because with the old system, every time I tried to use the screen wash, I couldn't see a damn thing and crashed my car. I had to buy a new car every week.

[chriss]

thank god this saves wiper fluid. the 5 dollars per year I spend on topping it off was way too outrageous, the $1200 to replace these blades every 6 months is much more manageable.

If windshield wiper fluid is blinding you.. what are you gonna do when it actually rains..

[QuinnShaw]

My 1991-95 Buick Roadmasters had a similar thing. This is more sophisticated, but it when you think about it, it's not that complex. They just ran a flexible hose up the inside of the wipe blade and the spray nozzle was then placed facing downward in front of the blade's swing. It worked well enough, and it was better for some things (and didn't require special wipers as the blade is the part you replace and it wasn't attached to the blade), but overall it made me use way more fluid. With normal hood mounted sprayers, you can just spray like half a second of fluid on the windshield and it is evenly covered and will get evenly cleaned.

To get even coverage with these you had to kind of spray for at least one full wipe cycle... and probably more.

but somehow no one realised the interior from the frist car is a bmw z4, well done MB

[calfeggs]

I see a bunch of laser cut holes just waiting to get clogged, and a windshield wiper that costs as much as the windshield to replace.

[Samuel-kmyf]

A solution to a problem that never existed.

[pythonboi]

Ok soo
Can we get this on the sprinter 3500?
Also
If a bug hits the windshield at 80mph will I still be able to wash it off? Because so far the traditional way just scrapes it across the windshield making it worst.
There are a lot of bugs in Oregon

[stephenkohler]

That's badass! I'd end up using way more wiper fluid just to watch it work
