			***Would need to read up on legality/complexity etc, but a Mute Switch with a “Caps Lock” style indicator that it IS MUTED (not broken) could allow this to work well

			*Those fancy windshield wipers where the sprayer is mounted on the wiper bar so fluid isn’t wasted/it actually “does something” in terms of keeping windshields safe (Short of [[Pre-Trip Inspection]] wipe it down, or having window wash + rags in your [[VEDC]]
			*A high quality HVAC System:
			**Two Upper Vents Per Person in Front
			**At LEAST one vent per person for the rear, but preferable to have the two upper vents
			**One Floor Vent Per Chair
			**Defrost for Front Windshield + Side Windows
			**Heated Air Defrost for other windows would be neat, but may be hard to route, nothing for rear side windows, and Electrical Heater Traces on the Rear Window would work fine
			**This would be a bit extra, but having a dedicated [[Dehumidifer]] such as a [[Rotary Wheel Dehumidifier]] running on engine heat would be nice for the semi-niche bit of being Soaked after work (sweat and/or rain etc) but also wanting not too cold or hot air, yet needing the max drying effect would be a nice addition
			**Could also try [[Heat Recovery Ventilation]] system as well depending on [[Impact of HVAC Use on Fuel Efficiency]] etc
			**Another thing to take note on is [[Heat Rejection Capacity]] / Rating of the Cooling when Parked + At Idle (ie not at Highway conditions of higher revs + Ram Air Cooling of the Radiator)
