  "textContent": "A smart system and methods for defogging surfaces of a vehicle are provided. The system uses external environment data and vehicle internal data to predict the probability of fogging in the vehicle. If the system determines that fogging is impending, the system then continually monitors the external environment data and the vehicle internal data to determine the onset and severity of the fogging as well as locations of where fogging will likely occur. Based on this information, the vehicle then activates one or more countermeasures to mitigate the fogging. The system uses a fogging function to model and determine the onset of fogging and a fogging severity function to determine the severity of the fogging. Once the severity of the fogging exceeds a first threshold, the system determines an appropriate countermeasure. This determined countermeasure is deployed or activated once the severity of the fogging exceeds a second threshold.",
