What is the principle of a windshield pneumatic rain removal system?

  1. A wiper mechanically removes the rain

  2. A chemical coating repels the rain

  3. An air blast creates a barrier

  4. Water is absorbed by a sponge-like material

The correct answer is: An air blast creates a barrier

The principle of a windshield pneumatic rain removal system involves creating an air barrier to repel the rain from the windshield. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a mechanical removal method, which is not the main principle of the system. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a chemical coating, which is not the main principle of the system either. Option D is incorrect because it refers to water absorption, which has no relation to the principle of creating an air barrier.
