Cross-posoting this fexcerpt from the REFR since Gauzy board here for my own reference:

From EP's Schwab IPO interview, beginning 2:20 in answer to the moderators question about automotive apps icluding Daimler, Honda, Ford and BMW:

" So, sometimes different product lines for different customers. If we're specifically talking about automotive, specific customers like Daimler, there's a need to control light through the glass apertures of a car. So take, for example, on EVs. Most EVs to day come with the glass roof.

At 2:25, as he is saying, "A very big glass roof," this flalshes on the screen.

He continues:

"... with no more instruments to actually control the light the light through it. The The reason is that you're sitting on batteries And it takes away the head space...

Our technology is embedded into glass that are materials by the biggest glass manufacturers today enable the electronic control of light. Gradual control, it can block light or allow light in, so within the glass itself."

I can accept that Ford isn't using SPD in their commercial truck ADAS. But EP gave these interviews on June 5, and the first Ford Explorer EV had rolled off the Cologne production line the day before. Per Ford, hit the showrooms i n September. I think he probably knew that:

Ford Media, September 10, 2024:

The all-electric Ford Explorer has won a prestigious Red Dot Award in the “Product Design” category.The international jury of the highly respected design award recognised the bold exterior design of the Explorer and praised the sophisticated interior.

Since June this year, the new Ford Explorer has been developed in Europe for Europe and is being produced at the Cologne Electric Vehicle Center. The award coincides with the start of the new Ford Explorer going on sale in all European markets, with vehicles now available at dealerships for test drives and deliveries.

So Gauzy's displaying that particular vehicle the day after the Explorer EV went into production while their CEO discussed EVs with big glass roofs in need of light control during a national broadcast promoting their IPO?

It raises questions for me. I have no idea why there wouldn't have been confirmation of a smart glass roof by this time.
I put lots of weight on the timing of events. But again, that's just me
