What I Found
Ray-Ban Meta Display transition lenses do tint outdoors, but they do not get as dark as real sunglasses and they.
I have been asked a lot about the transition lenses on the Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses, especially whether they actually get dark enough to use outside.
The Ray-Ban Meta Display transition lenses do darken under UV light, but only lightly. In my UV test, they picked up a visible tint, but even after running the test longer than usual, they did not get anywhere near as dark as dedicated sunglasses.
