Sunglasses, the built-in visors, and the blue-green colored glass at the top of the windshield don’t cut it when the sun is rising/setting and in the middle of your line of sight. Why haven’t manufacturers tried to solve this safety issue with a wider-reaching solution yet? Or if they have, why weren’t the proposed solutions successful?

There really aren’t solutions that work better than a pair of sunglasses. System to block out the specific angle from the head to the sun have been tried, but run into numerous issues.
For example, the height of the driver and the space between the drivers eyes changes the location, size, and shape of the area that needs to be obscured. Creating a system to automatically account for all that and adjust its location on the fly as the car & sun moves is non-trivial. Further after all that you are still obscuring part of the windshield and thus visibility.
