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

1.61K 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?

Most places in the world solve the problem by not having any view of the horizon. I am hard pushed to think of a road I’ve used where the sun would be visible setting for more than a short length of time. That would need a perfectly straight, perfectly flat, perfectly East-West road for enough distance to reach the horizon unobscured and there’s only one country I know that builds roads like that.

As someone who drove “into the sun” to work and home for over a decade, it was never that big a problem. Put on sunglasses, don’t stare directly at it, problem solved.
