Toyota uses wiper data to team up with the weatherman to accurately forecast the weather by pinpoint where it's pouring


Toyota is working with weather information provider Weathernews Inc. in Japan to improve the accuracy of rain forecasts, using real-time data from cars with windshield wipers connected to the system.

Weathernews has an observation network with 13,000 locations throughout Japan, and is testing a program that combines the network’s data with information collected from Toyota vehicles through the Internet. Wipers that are on indicate precipitation, while their speed indicates how hard it’s raining.
