Is there a way they can make a hide-away wiper? I tried to show my idea in this rendering.

That's what Elon meant with 'stow in frunk'.

Maybe a flap that covers it.

I was confused by the use of the word “stow” which usually means detach first. But you are right - he just meant “store”. It is doubtful that they would use a traditional wiper. Probably their new linear design. Still, the blade has to fold up and down. I never understood how they can make it work without an upper rail and a lower rail.

If the rail is magnetic, it doesn't need to stick out.

I guess if the blade is spring loaded the upper rail would just have to keep the wiper parallel.

Just have your TeslaBot climb out on the windshield and clear it.

This little guy is the windshield wiper. He is super fast.
