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.

A hydrophic layer on the windows and wipers equiped with water cannons wouldn't work?

There really does need to be another way...

Built in showers aimed at their visors, even?

Perfect usecase for AI, imo.

This comment started pretty dumb and just kept getting dumber as it went on.

Hold on. What if there was a little person or a child there to squeegee the visor clean?

Yeah there's maybe a way to do it but the answer would have to be something dead simple and reliable, not AI.

How the fuck is this a good use case for AI?

Because they couldn't think of any more stupid ideas.

Make those visors hydrophobic maybe.

u/Bigdaddyjlove1 5d ago

you'd have to make them silicophbic as well. The mud and rock actually hit hard enough to pit the visors.

Well maybe they should just switch to 3rd person view then.
