Bosch is using AI to eliminate sun glare while driving
The Virtual Visor has artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities that detect and follow the driver's face.
The AI can determine where parts of the driver's face are, such as the eyes.
By identifying the facial "landmarks," the Virtual Visor can project a darker shaded section onto the driver's eyes.
These shaded sections block light, similar to sunglasses.
The rest of the visor is transparent.
The company claims it uses "intelligent algorithms" to block the sun glare, but not the view of the road like traditional sun visors do, like the one pictured below.
“Some of the simplest innovations make the greatest impact, and Virtual Visor changes the way drivers see the road,” President of Bosch Car Multimedia Dr. Steffen Berns said in a statement.
The Virtual Visor won Best of Innovation at the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.
