Sgt - If the technology becomes UNECE regulation (global), then we WILL see it adopted here. It'd probably gain various compliance function recognition.
We are seeing the first LED based front fogs now; 'F3' compliance code. Sometimes incorporated with other lamp function like DRL/Cornering. Regards.

i think if the rain is coming down that hard seeing through the windscreen will be a big problem anyway, one thing i`ve noticed between driving trucks and cars in a bucketing down storm is the rake of windscreen makes a big difference to visibility, seeing through a big flat upright windscreen the water runs straight down, bloody magnificent for vision, doing the same in 99% of cars you will be off road waiting for the storm to ease.
this is one area on motor cars where i think fashion /style is for sure in the way of safety. |

future the windscreen is actually a projector and the car uses mounted cameras to project whats infront of the car using infra red ect so you get a crystal clear picture even in snow fog or rain now that would be cool
