A system for providing variable opacity includes a polarization assembly disposed at a vehicle. The polarization assembly includes a first panel having a plurality of first polarizing elements, and a second panel having a plurality of second polarizing elements, the first panel and the second panel overlapping in a path of light incident on the vehicle. The system also includes an actuation device configured to linearly translate the first panel relative to the second panel between a first position in which the polarization assembly is transparent to the light and a second position in which the polarization assembly at least partially blocks the light.
