ABSTRACT
Bright sunlight impairing the vision of a vehicle's driver is a problem every driver faces regularly. This paper describes an approach of how to solve this particular issue. Our goal is to design a system which reduces the blinding effects of bright sunlight to increase driving comfort and performance. A medium fidelity prototype, simulating incoming sunlight with a projector, darkening areas of the projection depending on the position of the user was built as part of our research. An initial user study shows that such a solution would be practical and convenient. However, an improvement of driving performance could not be observed.

LED-A-pillars: displaying distance information on the cars chassis
AutomotiveUI '15: Adjunct Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular ApplicationsAs the chassis of cars become more robust, the pillars of a car become broader in order to increase driver safety. As A-pillars grow wider, so too does their negative affect on the panoramic view of the driver and with a smaller field of vision, the ...
Autonomous Driving: Investigating the Feasibility of Bimodal Take-Over Requests
Autonomous vehicles will need de-escalation strategies to compensate when reaching system limitations. Car-driver handovers can be considered one possible method to deal with system boundaries. The authors suggest a bimodal auditory and visual handover ...

The main reason is conventional front light do not provide sufficient and reasonable illumination for nighttime visibility to be adapted to curves. On that ...
