The sunlight makes the driver's eyes tired and can lead to safety accidents. However, most automotive sun visor designs nowadays cover an excessively wide field of view and must be folded and stored by hand when not in use. Eclipse automatically detects the position of the driver's eyes and the sun, covering only the smallest area where sunlight directly hits the eyes, securing a wide field of view and making operation easier.
