The Windshield Wiper: An Important Safety Feature
The windshield wiper is an important safety component in your car. Read on to explore how the windshield wiper was invented.
Mary Anderson, born in Alabama in 1866, was responsible for inventing the first windshield wiper that actually worked. It all started when she was on a trip in New York City during a winter snowstorm. Mary noticed that drivers were stopping, getting out of their cars, and wiping the snow off of their windshields by hand. She sketched a design for a hand-operated windshield wiper that, when it became mass-produced, made driving more convenient and safer for everyone.
