Driving system and method for preventing glare therefrom

Abstract

This invention provides a driving system that reduces the interference of sudden, strong light in the driver's field of view, and a method for preventing glare. [Solution] The driving system 10 is located inside the vehicle and includes a camera 100 that senses an image in front of the vehicle, a first controller 200, and a second controller 300. The first controller 200 is connected to the camera 100 and identifies vehicles going in the same direction and oncoming vehicles in the image. The optical controller 400 is located on the windshield of the vehicle. The second controller 300 is connected to the first controller 200 and the optical controller 400 and analyzes the image. When the brightness at the position of the oncoming vehicle in the camera's field of view of the oncoming vehicle is above a brightness threshold, the second controller 300 converts the high-brightness position in the camera's field of view that has a brightness above the brightness threshold into a high-brightness position in the driving field of view and controls the optical controller 400 to reduce the light transmittance at the high-brightness position in the driving field of view. A method for preventing glare in the driving system is also provided.
