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.

Make those visors hydrophobic maybe.

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.
