TRANSITION WINDSHIELD

This idea applies the concept of Transition Glasses with the windshield of vehicles. This came to mind whenever I go through underground tunnels (particularly the one linking Boni Avenue under EDSA) -- where the tunnel isn't well-lit -- so the contrast from outside to tunnel to outside again is quite distracting and possibly a safety hazard. Turning on the headlights isn't much help, as it is still too dark.  If bright, it takes effort to put down the visor, and the visor doesn't help much, and blocks out part of your view.

With the Transition Windshield, the glass comes with a light-detecting sensor to identify the amount of lightness or darkness. When dark, the windshield can provide night vision or additional brightness/contrast to the view of the driver. For brightness, it would dim the glare just like a pair of sunglasses. This way, there's no need to use sunglasses, visor, or excessive use of headlights. 4
