Rivian is addressing the problem of ice buildup on headlights by applying for a patent for heated headlight lenses, utilizing carbon nanotubes to ensure visibility remains clear.
Current LED headlights don’t emit enough heat to melt snow and ice, causing significant visibility issues for drivers in winter conditions, a challenge Rivian aims to tackle.
The new patent proposes a heating element that distributes heat across the headlight lens, overcoming traditional methods that reduce visibility due to obstructive designs.
While traditional heating elements are cheaper, their potential to decrease visibility raises curiosity about Rivian's decision on what technology to implement in their vehicles.
