A portion of a proposed auto-dimming windshield could dim to protect drivers' eyes from the glare of bright headlights.
was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and published Jan. 17, 2023. It describes a lot of added hardware, including an AR head-up display, sensors to detect the amount of light shining on the windshield, and smart glass that allows the amount of light transmitted through the windshield to be electrically tuned.
This type of system could be a good defense against other drivers who forget to turn their high beams off, although the proliferation of automatic high beams in new cars will make that less of an issue as time goes on. Auto-dimming mirrors are also a common feature in new cars today, but the idea laid out in this patent application takes the idea a step further. Current auto-dimming mirrors dim across their entire surface, rather than targeting a specific area of glare.AR tech means the auto-dimming function could also be integrated with other features, like theavailable in some Mercedes-Benz luxury cars. These systems project arrows onto the head-up displays to direct the driver toward their turn.
