1. A dynamic positioning control system comprising:
a transparent or semi-transparent substrate configured for a vehicle;
a dimming controller;
a plurality of electrodes operatively connected to the dimming controller configured to dim one or more areas on or within the substrate within an overall electrochromic dimming-capable field area; and
a multi-segment light sensing device operatively connected to the dimming controller;
wherein the dimming controller is configured to cause the one or more areas to be dimmed to a particular transmissivity level of a plurality of different transmissivity levels based on:
a detected light angle and/or detected light magnitude detected by the multi-segment light sensing device; and
a vehicle speed of the vehicle;
wherein the multi-segment light sensing device is configured for detecting the light angle and/or the detecting the light magnitude from light received from an exterior of the vehicle.
