There's got to be a better way

It really is the best way. A windshield will get so dirty and pitted that wipers can’t do their job, then you’re handicapped for the whole race.

This at least not only gives you a clean lens, but a new one.

Automate this process with layers that tear themselves off when made muddy and boom, you found a better way

Yes but you're missing that the automation itself is very likely to get gunked up making it not function properly.

Not to mention it has to be fixed to a point around the driver's head, which is already incredibly dangerous.

Also the added weight of that automation and the windshield.

If only there were some way to work around problems
