Abstract
A privacy system for a vehicle, including: a window configured to selectively switch between transparent and non-transparent states and to simultaneously have a transparent zone and a non-transparent zone, an elongate touch sensitive sensor provided adjacent to the window, and a controller configured to receive a signal from the elongate touch sensitive sensor and control the transparency of the window such that a transition line between the transparent zone and the non-transparent zone is substantially aligned with and follows a point at which the elongate touch sensitive sensor is being touched.
