One would think that this would be perfect for automobiles.
(I say this because I drive East in the a.m. and West in the p.m. and I notice that hardly anyone wears sunglasses and there's always a line of cars w/ their brake lights on whenever we come around a corner (or over a hill) into solar glare.)
