I no longer wish to make money off this idea, I simply want it to exist

Ship mirrors with built in liquid crystal layers that use the camera in the car to map and then block headlight brightness from the driver.

It takes some electricity but the car has batteries and an alternator.

Anyone other than Tesla or a Elon musk invested entity is allowed to use this idea.

I actually bought special night driving glasses today because of exactly this.

It took me a while to buy something just because of other people's stupid headlights.

Do tell! I'm interested if you have any tips!

Well, auto-dimming rear-view mirrors have been a thing since the 90's.

Your idea layers onto that, and I'm sure it would require trivial amounts of power (watches have used LCD since the 80's).

I'm pretty sure I've seen LCD used as a dimming method for windows.

Yeah, but the window ones require a lot more power hear. No idea how the physics and math work out.

They are like sunglasses that filter out bright blue / white light but do not darken everything so you can use them at night. They improve contrast and reduce eye fatigue.

Search for: "LED headlight glare reduction glasses" or just "night driving glasses" and you'll see many of these yellow tinted glasses.

I hope they'll do the trick!

I think you speak of a feature that some BMWs have where they have a led matrix for headlights and will selectively turn off the ones aimed at oncoming cars while the rest stay on

there are also flip down visors.

BMWs divert all power from turn signals to the LED headlights.

this is the one and only censored meme that I will upvote

But I want this defensively, for the car with LEDs installed at old incandescent voltages, the truck that rides 3" from your bumper, and the guy who got replacement bulbs at a cheap garage who didn't adjust them correctly.

They make those? I can't dive at all at night because of this shit, are they just called driving glasses?

Edit: just saw you explained it lower, sorry

You killed Chekov with this blinding light.

Makes sense but damn really feels like they've won now

Those things fucking suck! Last card I had had one and it took like 30 seconds to a minute to darken. Next car I made sure had the old school flicky doohickey.

Yes exactly this, this has been bothering me for so long and I did not want them to win! But in the end I value my healthy and safety more than my sense of justice, I feel like such a sellout.

This is not true.

BMWs do not have turn signals.

Oh I know. We don't win this battle by squinting and swerving.

It's not the LEDs fault

What if one were to, I don’t know, thin out some yellow paint and airbrush it onto a set of LED headlights. Would this do the trick without having to wear glasses?

i put aftermarket leds on my truck back in 2012. they are in no way shape or form too bright

Mine does

We win by closing our eyes and whispering goodbye.

You can't just say fuck on the internet
