Dont they do that to bentley sunroofs using LCD technology?
I dont know if this is way off the mark but also these is some dimming technology in the electronic rear-view mirrors. Back in college a couple students built a window for the home using the same technology to help make the home more energy efficient.

i've posted about this, and so has wizardpc.....SPD/smart windows......and similar windows cost about $2000 for 18"x12". Apparently maybachs have it as an option (i think its maybachs that have it...maybe its something fancier). The technology is too expensive to be practical right now

You might be suprised but..
This technology has been used in a lot of cars, not just high end cars, a friend of mine's Dad has a 91 Buick Riveria, i think its a 91, anyways, on his rear view mirror there is a button you can push that tints the glass, its for if someone behind has high beams on, most rear views just tilt, but his tints, i'm sure lots of other cars have this option.

Key word in your post is MIRROR. We are talking about WINDOWS here.

It would be simple to get a peice of that privacy glass cut to car window shape. However, i doubt they come in car window ISO standards, and would be hella illegal on the roads. I wouldnt put something that would endanger my family in my car. Current car windows just split into tiny cubes that dont hurt anything much. But big shards of window glass can mame/kill.
I have been looking for electrochromatic FILM for quite some time, but not found any so far.... If anyone finds any, please post!
Cheers

I was bored last night and saw an episode of Pimp My Ride where they used a large sheet of this "Smart Glass" in the trunk of an old 70's Monte Carlo. They put a computer and some big subs and a bunch of neon in the trunk, and then laid a frame of the "Smart Glass" over the trunk, so that when you opened the trunk, all you saw was a sheet of opaque glass, unless you applied power, at which point it went clear and you could see the neon and the computer & stuff. It was silly, like most things on Pimp My Ride that I've seen.
