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.
