Active Sun Block for Drivers

Problem this idea/invention addresses:
Do you know when the traffic accident rate becomes so high? You may have experiences of difficulty in driving your car when it is close to sunset or sunrise time. Sunglasses may not have enough!

What if... if you have a dark circle in your car to block the sunset....

Description of idea/invention:
This invention actively moves dark circle(s) that will screen sun from driver's eyes. The key in this invention is "how to sense and change the optimal position of the dark circle relative to your eyes, as the driving direction and position of the sun changes."

I have a simple idea that can be applied to both luxury and mid range vehicles as well. Government or insurance company will also love this.

Details of this invention can be shared after formal NDA sign up. I am planning to submit provisional patent ASAP.

Use of funds:
0. Through patent search (plan to use 3rd party)
1. To submit and maintain patents. - This is critical as the patent can be exclusively sold to few auto makers. Also, this idea can be extended to other applications.
2. Half time salary to myself and 2 assistants for 6 months .
3. Setup the lab at my garage (or backyard)
4. Build working prototypes
5. Optional: Pre-marketing to auto industries. (This can attract extra funds from auto makers)
