Powered window tint.
Push a button, windows get tinted (IAW state limits) Push it again, windows are clear.
I have a car now with tint and I swear I hate parking the damn thing at night because I can't see jack out of the back or rear side windows (In japan parking lots are designed for people to park nose-out).
It's sort of been done, but by an idiot. On the Japanese news just the other day there was a story about a new public toilet design. The whole thing is see-through until someone enteres, then the glass gets the sprayed on snow kind of look. I say done by an idiot because it was designed to be triggered by a motion sensor and the windows go back to clear if there is no movement for more than 37 seconds! Aren't motion sensors more expensive than a simple switch? All they needed was to put a switch on the door lock, so while it's locked, the windows are blocked out. Such a bonehead mistake...
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
