Color-changing car windows - the nemesis of heat-insulating film

The Japanese car company is said to have just filed a patent application for windows that automatically dim when touched and can be used on all types of cars.

The automotive window tinting market could be on the verge of extinction if Honda’s patent becomes a reality. According to the photo posted by Auto Guide, the system will activate when the user touches the car window and moves their finger downwards to the point where they want the window to be tinted in that area.

In addition to putting an end to car window film manufacturers, Honda's new invention could also put companies that supply windshield-mounted solar sensors out of business.

The only supposed downside to the auto-dimming windows is that the system can only be changed while the car is stationary.

However, the technology is considered novel and attractive, although it is not known when or if Honda will turn the idea into reality.
