Abstract
The present invention comprises a visor assembly for filtering sunlight through a field of view of a driver. The assembly has motorized tinted visors that can be set in a stowed position, positioned upward, and lowered into the field of vision of the driver, allowing sunlight to pass through the tinted visors for filtering, via forward and reverse buttons. The tinted visors can include at least one amber tinted visor. The amber tinted visor is amber in color, adding contrast and visual acetate distinction in low-light driving situations. The tinted visors can also include at least one gradient tinted visor. The gradient tinted visor has a color gradient transitioning from a dense, dark blue color, adding brilliance and attenuation, to clear acetate, providing an unobstructed view of traffic.
