Honda's Clever Windows Will Tint At The Prod Of A Finger
Like the idea of window tints but find them a tad permanent? Honda has just the thing for your fickle self.
According to Auto Guide, the manufacturer has just filed a patent for special touch sensitive windows. The idea is you’ll be able to control exactly how much of the window you want tinted by simply dragging the tinted area around with your finger.
We’re guessing it works in the same way as the ‘Magic Sky’ glass roof technology seen in some Mercedes, which uses a film of particles controlled via an electric current. When the particles are put in random positions by the current, they block light from coming through.
Clever, no?

Since it’s illegal to put window tint on the front windows in my country (because they cover up the side mirrors, not that any one uses them anyway), it’d be interesting to see how cops react when they come up to the car and suddenly there is no tint.
It’s Saudi Arabia too, if it weren’t for the caliphate telling everyone what to do, all the windows would have tint…
Curtains for cars basically…
Oh you savage Honda you…
So constantly dirty windows from idiot friends messing with the window tint instead of the usual drawing phalic symbols on the windows in the condensation
But at least this will completely remove those symbols. On condensation, you can still see a bit after it goes away…
I guess you will be cleaning your windows almost 3 times a day… it’s better with a small control near the dash
These would get worn out pretty quick in my vehicles.
but what about if it breaks, that could not be cheap.
Is nobody else thinking about the finger marks on the windows?!
Old news, Mercedes has it on there Panorama glass on some models.
