Wideye, the AGC Group scaleup specialising in solutions for self-driving vehicle ecosystems, will be at CES 2023 (Las Vegas, 5-8 January) where new glass innovations will be unveiled for the efficient, reliable and aesthetic integration of optical sensors.

The windshield was the first location Wideye worked with, starting in 2016. The high, central position of the sensors behind the car's windshield provides a commanding vantage point, ideal for highway pilot and traffic jam pilot functions. The rooftop mount is set to go mainstream thanks to its elevated position, a LiDAR unit has been integrated by encapsulating it in an all-glass roof. The B-pillar is an area where OEMs are looking to combine functions, glass is the perfect material for mounting sensors in this location works in real life. Glass in the fender enables carmakers to fully customise the look of their vehicles while ensuring that sensors can detect objects. The bumper is the traditional home for sensors of all kinds (radar, LiDAR, etc.). Wideye demonstrates the superior quality of its glass when used in LiDAR housings located in the grill or bumper.

Wideye Rhino, a branch dedicated to the industrial vehicle and smart infrastructure markets, will also present their solutions for mounting and protecting LiDAR units in harsh environments for mining, freight transport, farming and construction vehicles, as well as in urban environments for traffic monitoring, safety, security and crowd analytics, both indoors and outdoors.
