Are windshield wipers soon to be a memory?

In my daily email update from the CodeProject I saw this:

They will use the same technology that is being used on jet aircraft. The window vibrates causing the rain to drop off. The figure is $15 added to each car for this feature.

How about current technology....
If you use rain-x monthly, you never (hardly) need to use wipers.

My exhaust causes my windshield to vibrate now and the raindrops still are there Although I don't fly a jet aircraft, I guess that's the problem.
