Vehicle antiglare system and method and vehicle comprising antiglare system
An antiglare system and method and a vehicle comprising the antiglare system. The antiglare system comprises a light transmittance adjustment plate, which includes at least one light transmittance adjustment portion, which in turn includes at least one first light transmittance adjustment region. The antiglare method comprises: capturing, from one side of a light transmittance adjustment plate, an image in a direction facing the light transmittance adjustment plate; determining a bright region in the image, and acquiring a position of the bright region in the image; determining, according to the position of the bright region, a first light transmittance adjustment region in the light transmittance adjustment plate; and if a bright region is present, adjusting light transmittance of the first light transmittance adjustment region. The antiglare system dynamically adjusts, according to different situations, light transmittance at different regions in a light transmittance adjustment plate, thereby adaptively adjusting light conditions.
Thermoform windshield stack with integrated formable mold
A method of installing a stack of two or more lenses on a curved substrate includes placing a moldable coveting on a curved substrate, the moldable covering including a stack of two or more lenses, an adhesive layer interposed between each pair of adjacent lenses from among the two or more lenses, and a sacrificial layer disposed on an outermost lens of the stack, the sacrificial layer including a sacrificial lens and a sacrificial adhesive interposed between the sacrificial lens and the outermost lens of the stack. The method may include applying heat and pressure to the sacrificial layer and peeling off the sacrificial layer to reveal the stack of two or more lenses.

System and method for multi-zone dimming window system
A window control system includes a plurality of electro-optic devices configured to control a transmittance of light through each of the plurality of zones, and at least one sensor configured to identify an intensity of light transmitted through the at least one window. A controller k in communication with the electro-optic devices and the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to independently control the transmittance of the light through each of the zones based on at least one of a direction of the light and an intensity of the light detected in a passenger compartment of a vehicle.
Transportation apparatus and vehicle
A transportation apparatus includes: a window member; a first heating unit arranged to heat a first region of the window member; a second heating unit arranged to heat a second region of the window member; and a control unit configured to control driving of the first heating unit and the second heating unit. The first region and the second region are adjacent regions. The control unit performs first heating control of making a heating output of the first heating unit larger than a heating output of the second heating unit.
