From a NASA tech page..

"NASA is testing NON-STICK wing coatings
So when bugs hit—They slide right off
The favorite is one based on a lotus leaf
Which naturally repels water with tiny bumps
Fuel savings per plane are small
But across the industry could be BIG"

Could this lead to new automotive coatings? Or is there already a product based on this research?
 
We already have some coating with Lotus "effect". It's not necessary need to made from Lotus as long as they can produce the same effect.
