Abstract
A method for assisting the daytime driving of a motor vehicle, including the steps of: placing at least one variable-transmission screen between the driver of the motor vehicle and the road scene in front of the vehicle, measuring, by means of at least one sensor, the brightness of the road scene in front of the vehicle, and processing the brightness measurement signal to convert it into a signal for controlling the coefficient of transmission of the variable-transmission screen. In one embodiment, the method includes the further step of transmitting the control signal by remote control waves to a receiver fitted to the variable-transmission screen for modulating the coefficient of transmission of the variable-transmission screen as a function of the brightness measured by the sensor.
