A device for assisting with driving an automotive vehicle, the vehicle being equipped with at least one illuminating device able to emit a beam for illuminating a road scene (SR) in front of the vehicle, the assisting device comprising a variable transmission screen that is intended to be placed between the road scene (SR) and a driver of the vehicle, the assisting device being configured to, when active, control a light emission of at least one light source of the illuminating device and a transmission coefficient of the variable transmission screen, in relation to each other, with a pulsed signal, characterized in that the assisting device is configured to detect a vehicle equipped with a device of the same type via inter-vehicle communication and to modify the pulsed signal so as to avoid antiphase and/or phase effects, when the device detects such a vehicle.
A device for assisting with driving an automotive vehicle, said automotive vehicle being equipped with at least one illuminating device able to emit a beam for illuminating a road scene (SR) in front of said automotive vehicle, said assisting device comprising a variable transmission screen that is intended to be placed between said road scene (SR) and a driver of said automotive vehicle, said assisting device being configured to, when active, control a light emission of at least one light source of said at least one illuminating device and a transmission coefficient of said variable transmission screen, in relation to each other, with a pulsed signal, wherein said assisting device is configured to detect a vehicle equipped with a device of the same type via inter-vehicle communication and to modify said pulsed signal so as to avoid antiphase and/or phase effects, when said device detects such a vehicle.
A method for assisting with driving an automotive vehicle, said automotive vehicle being equipped with at least one illuminating device able to emit a beam for illuminating a road scene (SR) in front of said automotive vehicle, and a variable transmission screen that is intended to be placed between said road scene (SR) and a driver of said automotive vehicle, said method comprising a step of controlling, in relation to each other, a light emission of at least one light source of said at least one illuminating device and a transmission coefficient of said variable transmission screen, with a pulsed signal, wherein said method comprises a step of detecting a vehicle implementing a method of the same type, via inter-vehicle communication, and a step of modifying said pulsed signal so as to avoid antiphase and/or phase effects, when such a vehicle is detected.
