Wow - what a fantastic idea. I have driven through many areas at night and early morning were the fog is so thick that you can not see the road and headlights makes it even worse. Had never even considered that anything could be done to address this issue. Congrats on taking on such a interesting big challenge. Make sure you are documenting all of your prototypes.
What are two or three big challenges that we can help you with?
This is a good idea.
This is a bold and creative idea tackling a real road safety issue. Thinking beyond driver reaction time shows strong design ambition, and improving visibility could also help reduce wildlife strikes on rural roads, which adds real value.
One thing to keep in mind is scale. Removing fog by moving air or changing temperature over an open road would be extremely complex and energy-intensive. Because of this, it may be worth exploring a pivot toward using new technology to further adapt vehicles, driver behaviour, or roadside systems that detect fog, hazards and wildlife and clearly warn or impact driver actions, rather than trying to remove the fog itself.

Great idea, very ambitious. Be good to also consider other visual obstructions eg bushfire smoke/pollution (smog) and other related elements of safety eg air quality as possible benefits making this system more versatile and desirable.
