Rivian has a patent on an odd, yet potentially useful idea for a blowdryer that would attach to a vehicle's HVAC system. For folks who frequently surf, canoe, or engage in other activities in the water, this could be a very useful feature.
According to the patent, a flexible tube with a coupler would attach to an interior HVAC vent or a dedicated opening on the outside of the vehicle. When in place, the vehicle would know to direct all of the system's airflow only through this blowdryer, according to one example.
