Abstract

La présente invention comprend un ensemble visière pour filtrer la lumière solaire à travers un champ de vision d'un conducteur. L'ensemble comprend des visières teintées motorisées qui peuvent être placées dans une position rangée, positionnées vers le haut, et abaissées dans le champ de vision du conducteur, permettant à la lumière solaire de passer à travers les visières teintées pour être filtrée, par l'intermédiaire de boutons avant et arrière. Les visières teintées peuvent comprendre au moins une visière teintée d'ambre. La visière teintée d'ambre est de couleur ambre, ajoutant un contraste et une distinction visuelle d'acétate dans des situations de conduite à faible lumière. Les visières teintées peuvent également comprendre au moins une visière teintée à gradient. La visière teintée à gradient a un gradient de couleur passant d'une couleur bleu foncé dense, l'ajout d'une brillance et d'une atténuation, à l'acétate clair, fournissant une vue non obstruée de la circulation.
