Much criticism was levied on this facet of auto design, as often instrument panels and dashboards were brightly finished with chrome and glossy enamels which often reflected sunlight or the light of oncoming motor vehicles into the driver's eyes. This problem, according to Nader, was well known by persons in the industry, but little was done to correct it. Usually, the weak excuse for not taking actions was that it would take away from the styling or appearance of the cars. Subsequently, bright and blinding finishes inside motor cars have been greatly reduced or eliminated completely.
