Abstract: The present invention is configured to detect whether sunlight that shines into an interior through a glass shines around eyes of a driver, detect an incident angle of the sunlight at the same time, and control an actuator to unfold a sun visor to block the sunlight which hinders a driving view of the driver, so that the driver can drive safely as the sun visor is automatically unfolded even without the driver manipulating the sun visor when there is a worry that the driving view of the driver will be hindered. In particular, the present invention can improve an effect of blocking the sunlight and allow the driver to drive safely by minimizing hindrance of a driving view of the driver by the sun visor by driving the actuator such that the sun visor is located to be perpendicular to an incident angle.
