Abstract
A reduced glare imaging system for motor vehicles. The reduced glare imaging system includes at least one imaging device for receiving images. The imaging device receives light signals for image processing in a first operational state and does not receive the light signals for image processing in a second operational state. An electromagnetic detection unit is provided for detecting electromagnetic signals generated by a second imaging system. A synchronization unit is also provided for signaling the imaging device to change operational states in response to a detection of the electromagnetic signals generated by the second imaging system.
