Toyota also thinks it can solve them with augmented reality.
Sunlight can be challenging for drivers while driving and can prevent clear viewing of information projected on the glass. Of course, this can create similar problems for an augmented reality glasses. At the same time, turning on the high beams at night can cause similar problems.
