Dynamically Managing Vehicle Glass Dimming
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically changing transparency of portions of a vehicle transparent material comprising:
- determining a location of a bright light with respect to a vehicle;
determining a driver location within the vehicle;
selectively changing transparency of a selected portion of the vehicle transparent material to obscure the bright light from the driver'"'"'s eyes, while allowing a majority of the vehicle transparent material to remain normally transparent; and
repeating the above steps continually to adjust a location of the selected portion of the vehicle transparent material as the vehicle changes orientation with respect to the bright light.
