Near-infrared reflection sensing maps vehicle interior glare so display parameters can be adjusted to preserve visibility and occupant comfort.
When sunlight and route conditions predict instrument cluster washout, readouts are duplicated to the infotainment display to keep status data visible.
A spherical lens and sensor measure cabin solar load by location, letting the ECU adjust cooling precisely and avoid excess HVAC demand.
Virtual sensors and correction factors estimate solar irradiance on specific building areas despite shading from neighboring structures.
