A real modern windscreen for my car!

A windscreen to fight the sun

Myself, together with drivers of multi-wheel vehicles all over the world struggle to try to come back to a car that we have parked, that isn't an oven, by placing a piece of cardboard to block out the sun on the windscreen. As we drive into the sun we have a sunvisor each for the driver and the passenger. Neither can see where we are going when the visor in turned down. It's time for a modern solution to this age old problem.

I suggest that car glass be connected to the electrics (as they are already for heating) so that at the flip of a switch when the engine is turned off the glass becomes opaque to keep out the sun uv rays. When the engine is started the effect would be cancelled. Upon the impact of direct sun rays on the windscreen the glass would react in the same way that my own prescription glasses do, by providing a light tint across the middle, and along the top quarter the colour perhaps might take on a bluish transparent hue to take the place of sunvisors through which we can see nothing.

In an age of Smart Phones that do very impressive things that should be impossible, I'm sure that through the concentration of scientific minds a thoroughly modern windscreen can become the norm.

However, look for it first on the Mercedes S class!
