| | | Since Gauzy's acquisition of VS, Gauzy has expanded capabilities and products and said that this expansion would enter No. America and that they would announce major collaboration w/a leading OEM regarding smart glass in passenger vehicles. We are hopeful and still waiting on this.
Not just for passenger vehicles but for aircraft and trains as well and ADAS/CMS were to replace traditional mirrors in buses, trucks, and agricultural vehicles. These were to make their North American debut at some point.
These products were to come across the pond to North America in the following applications:
- Two horizontally segmented suspended particle device (SPD) mechatronic sunroofs, which were developed in partnership with BOS. This unique and innovative product, which Gauzy believes is the first of its kind, allows for a fully open, closed, or tilted sunroof, user-controlled dimmable shading in zoned areas with up to 99% light blocking, and increased headroom and daylight openings for more spacious interiors, while reducing weight and eliminating traditional shading components inside the vehicle, and also improving vehicle stability.
- Patented and newly revealed mixed material smart glass with laminated fabric by BOS and Gauzy, extends visibility while also reducing glare for enhanced visual comfort. This new multi-tech fabric, which prioritizes function with aesthetic design to meet the requirements of OEMs, is showcased in both a next-generation smart sun visor and also in a dual-pane side window set in a fully-functioning mechatronic door, both of which incorporate Gauzy’s smart glass control technologies.
- Gauzy’s newest railway customer, Talgo, a leading Spain-based train OEM, will debut in the North American market an IGU (insulated glass unit) smart glass passenger window designed and built by Gauzy and Star Glass. With multi-zone technology and capacitive touch on glass controls, these SPD-SmartGlass windows set a new standard for passenger personalization and comfort in railway travel, and position Talgo as an early adopter of innovative solutions.
- Gauzy’s Safety Tech subsidiary will demonstrate the future for vision and light control in mass transit with a fully-integrated bus windshield featuring SPD dimmable smart glass as a replacement for sun visors. Safety Tech will also exhibit its complete ADAS product offerings, including its ‘Smart-Vision’ digital displays with real time image analysis, and its new blind spot information system (BSIS+) and moving-off information system (MOIS+) to help avoid collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. Smart-Vision is now available for the North American market. Gauzy believes that this marks the first known example of these technologies used in combination to provide ADAS solutions to improve the driver’s environment.
- Gauzy’s SPD technology laminated with LG Display’s T-OLED technology to create high-contrast transparent digital displays. OSG, a leading global glass systems manufacturer with 40 years of experience in the transportation and defense markets, collaborated with Gauzy and LG Display to laminate the three technologies and combine them into an IGU. This marks the first time Gauzy presents an SPD T-OLED IGU, showcasing the possibilities for the three technologies to be combined in exterior applications for a wide variety of markets. On display will be a railway-compliant passenger window that supports dimmable shading using SPD-SmartGlass technology invented by Research Frontiers, selective transparency, and a vivid display surface for connected messaging and advertising.
- Creating a high-tech multifunctional surface with Continental’s electronic integrations, DK Autoglass’ lamination and Gauzy’s SPD and segmented PDLC technologies are combined with bioluminescent display technology to provide smart shading, privacy and display windows for use in a wide variety of industries and products.
So we, investors, are still expecting a lunar landing!!! |
