Helmet tech has been advancing rather quickly of late. We’ve seen helmets that promise 100% blind-spot elimination, others that filter the air you breathe in, and even the likes of Sena and Cardo jumping in with their respective “smart” helmets.

Anything that does that will likely be an extremely over-engineered and expensive solution for the problem. I don’t even think I’ve seen a clear screen capable of blocking light with that type of granularity.
I rode for years, and was surprised at the lack of visors that incorporate multiple filters like this; requiring users to carry a separate visor or sunglasses, and stopping to manually change them.
Even helmets with rear view mirrors are exceedingly rare.
My current helmet has an internal sun visor I can drop down in front of my eyes with a lever on the outside of the helmet. My previous one had a photo chromatic lens that would change colors based on how much light it was encountering. Both work(ed) great but I prefer the internal sun visor.
Is that some kind of PDLC film?
