So its on a McLaren F1 which is a £1.4 million quid car.

But then again it is based on £100million quid jet fighter aircraft tech

But give it ten years and the technology will trickle down to your bog standard commuter car.

Miniaturised and modified so you can stick it on a motorcycle visor*

*assuming motorbikes are legal in 2024, that there is petrol and we've not gone mad max.

Might vibrate fillings out on a helmet.

Also, as far as I know the aeroplanes with windscreen wipers only use them at slower speeds - once jets are in the sky they're going fast enough that you don't need them.

So, perhaps the answer is just to ride/drive at over 150mph all the time?

Brilliant. Ultrasonic screen on a helmet. First drop of rain and your fillings fall out.

If they up the amplitude, do you think it would repell volvo estate cars?

...only when the weight of said Volvo is less than your compulsory cast iron helmet safety liner - proposed EeeeYooooo safety mod for 2016!

Surely fighters jets travel so fast the water will stream off anyway?

So we need this 'forcefield' technology when we're just walking out and about in our coats / hats. Would overtake a technology that has barely changed in hundreds of years: the umbrella.
