Why haven’t car manufacturers tried to fix the driving-into-the-blinding-sun visibility issue yet?

1.60K views

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?

Many people have already explained ways is would be possible, and given the rains why its not feasible (mostly cost).

Another major issue that impacts all solution is legal retirements. Each market is slightly different, but there are legal requirements regarding the amount transparency of your windscreen. In the UK this figure is 75% of light must pass through the front windscreen. As soon as you put anything to shade of the sun, you probably won’t hit this figure.
