You May Never Need to Clean Your Car Again, Thanks to New Coating Technology
ScienceDaily (July 19, 2012) — A new coating with self-repairing surface functionality has been developed.
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed a coating with a surface that repairs itself after damage. This new coating has numerous potential applications -- for example mobile phones that will remain clean from fingerprints, cars that never need to be washed, and aircraft that need less frequent repainting.

They have been talking about this for years now, but I never seen any progress in everyday life.
Also imagine if all the surfaces wil clean automatically ( including finger prints) than crime seens will be harder to reconstruct.

Well not every surface will need to clean itself. I don't think manufacturers will waste their money on self cleaning water bottles, and self cleaning wallets etc.
Surveillance will improve. I wonder if storage will get so cheap that people will install cameras in houses? It seems like a giant breech of privacy to me though.
