Default Windshield washer nozzles

I just had a terrible thought. I was eating lunch at the local area restaurant and noticed that most if not all the new cars have the windshield washer nozzles positioned part way forward of the windshield on the hood. Is this a new requirement to meet some kind of spray pattern? Foreign and domestic manufactures, high and low end cars, have these ugly black things on the hood. Will the new C7 be required to have these nozzles also? "I hope not".

We can expect the C7 to have "fluidic" (wet) wiper arms (nozzles mounted on the wiper arms).

That is what I thought, like the C6. Then I saw all the cars with washer nozzles on the hood, thought "NO".

There is no way they would move them to the hood

Agreed. And if they did with the rear opening hood it would take a bunch of hose to run it to the pump. Wouldn't make sense.
