– Why can’t front windshields have the same defrosting method as rear windshields?

Question

The rear windshield defrosters seem so much more effective. Is it just the lines across the drivers field of view that makes it decidedly unsafe?

Also…why isn’t there a “slap” function on windshield wipers? Like when you get a small stick, leaf, or chunk of ice stuck under the wiper, it would be great if you didn’t have to reach outside of the window to lift it up and free the debris. Just pull the lever or something and it makes your wipers slap the windshield while you’re driving.
