Mexican Farmers Sue Volkswagen For Using Hail Cannons

Volkswagen has been accused of ruining crops planted near one of its factories in Mexico by using technology to alter the weather.

Local groups have accused the German automaker of causing a dry spell with hail cannons that shoot sonic booms into the air to prevent the formation of hail. The devices are used to protect cars parked outside the factory from dents caused by hailstones.
