I think it will be a Gauzy win, but just not sure it’s the 50k one they were referring to. Seems like Audi had a number of variants coming out with PDLC on some recently announced vehicles so perhaps add them to the potentials?
I should have scanned further on that article as it looks like that m3 is the concept to the upcoming iM3 coming out in 2027. Either way, practically every premium auto maker coming out of Europe over $70k has PDLC.

I tried to find the answer to the following question by using AI. Unfortunately nothing came up.
Does high temp PDLC stop heat from coming into a car? If YES, Is it as good as SPD film?

So, I've changed the question to the following:
Question: how's high temp PDLC film is different from regular PDLC film?

AI gave me the following answer:

A high-temp PDLC film differs from a regular PDLC film primarily in its ability to function effectively at significantly higher temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor applications where extreme heat is present, while standard PDLC films may degrade or lose performance under such conditions due to the limitations of their liquid crystal materials; essentially, high-temp PDLC film uses specialized liquid crystals with a wider operating temperature range, allowing it to maintain its switchable properties in hot environments.



Key differences:





  • Operating Temperature Range:
    High-temp PDLC film can operate at considerably higher temperatures compared to regular PDLC film, making it suitable for outdoor applications like windows exposed to direct sunlight.



  • Liquid Crystal Composition:
    The key difference lies in the type of liquid crystals used; high-temp PDLC films utilize specially formulated liquid crystals with a higher clearing point, meaning they can maintain their properties at elevated temperatures.



  • Application:
    While regular PDLC film is suitable for indoor use, high-temp PDLC film is designed for outdoor applications where high temperatures are prevalent.
