Abstract

A vehicle light-adjusting system includes a light-adjusting member arranged in an incident portion into which an external light enters, a control unit that controls transmittance of the light-adjusting member, and an instruction detecting unit. The light-adjusting member is divided into a plurality of parts. The instruction detecting unit detects an instruction given by the occupant in a non-contact manner to the light-adjusting member by at least one of gesture and words. When the instruction detecting unit detects the instruction designating any one of the parts, the control unit adjusts an individual transmittance of the part corresponding to the instruction detected by the instruction detecting unit.
