Windshield Question

Question: On my '05 Vibe, the front windshield has a black patterning on the glass mainly behind the rearview mirror and along the passenger side edge (but *not at all* on the driver side edge). I assume this has to do with cutting down glare or reflections or some such. But I was wondering why the patterning is laid out in a non-symetrical way. Any of you folks know the reasoning?

There is no logical explanation, it has been discussed in great depth before.

oh. Then this opens the door to conspiracy theories.

i believe it has something to do with interference with the light sensor on the drivers side. the owners manual recommends against placing oil change stickers on the drivers side also.
