Think windshield wipers are boring? Think again. In this 60‑second bonus clip, Tim Kearns reveals how his father, engineering professor Dr. Robert Kearns, dreamed up the intermittent windshield wiper in a Detroit basement, sued the auto giants that copied it, and won one of the largest individual patent settlements in automotive history—later immortalized in the film Flash of Genius. Hear Tim set the record straight on the garage‑born innovation that now clears rain on every modern car and the uphill legal battle that rewrote IP law for tinkerers everywhere.
If you geek out on home‑grown car tech, classic‑Detroit lore, or courtroom showdowns against Ford and Chrysler, hit play and add a new slice of automotive history to your trivia toolbox.
