Abstract
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.
