Windshield wiper of sorts. I can't recall the name either but just was
wondering if it gets used most of the time or rarely.

I can't for the life of me remember the name. They spin at a very high rpm
and work great.

I'll find out the name today.

It is known as a "Clear View Screen"

The round device uses centrifugal force to remove water droplets.

The center part is the motor. The round transparent disc is attached to the
shaft of the center motor and spins when the motor turns. The spinning
action removes the water from the disc and so navigators are able to get a
clear view of the outside by looking through the spinning disc. Of course
the edges of the spinning disc are constructed in such a way that water will
not be able to enter the bridge.

There are several makers. This is one:
