Systems and methods for dynamic dimming of a set of displays sharing a single energy source are provided. Image data is received from an external camera of a vehicle. A light intensity level of an external light source in the image data is determined based on the image data. A light angle of the external light source is determined with respect to the vehicle based on the image data. A desired brightness level is generated based on the light intensity level and the light angle. If a first display of a plurality of displays of the vehicle is in a line of sight of a driver gaze direction, a command is issued to adjust a brightness level of the first display to the desired brightness level and dim the other displays to a dim brightness level. The desired brightness level is greater than the dim brightness level.

A method for presenting one or more images to an observer on a reconfigurable electronic display includes prompting the observer to select a portion of the display that is visible to the observer and, if the observer has selected a portion of the display, presenting the images to fit within the selected portion of the display. Subsequent to presenting the images to fit within the selected portion of the display and in response to at least partial obstruction of the observer's view of the images by a visual obstruction, the images are reconfigured to be fully visible to the observer notwithstanding the visual obstruction.
