Abstract:
1. A method for reducing glare between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, wherein the first vehicle has a first light source with a first light source intensity control film (ICF) and a first windscreen with a first windscreen ICF, and the second vehicle has a second light source with a second light source ICF and a second windscreen with a second windscreen ICF, the method comprising: sensing the first light source with the second vehicle, and sensing the second light source with the first vehicle; oscillating the first light source ICF between a substantially opaque state and a substantially clear state on a first schedule; oscillating the second windscreen ICF between the substantially opaque state and the substantially clear state on a second schedule different from the first schedule; sensing magnetic north; determining a first offset angle for the first vehicle relative to magnetic north; determining a second offset angle for the second vehicle relative to magnetic north; calculating the first schedule as a function of the first offset angle; and calculating the second schedule as a function of the second offset angle.
