Scientists at Aalborg University in Denmark have announced a major breakthrough in the development of “self-healing glass” (or glass which can mend itself).

A recent study in the USA shows how the growth of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) in new cars is starting to reduce the number of road accidents.

As we move closer to the age of autonomous driving, deep learning technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence) are coming into play in our cars.

Dutch tech company Lightyear plans to launch an electric car that uses solar panels to boost charging.

Many people think they’re safe in a car during lightning because the tyres are made of rubber. But that’s not true.

As you probably heard already, Belron and AGC signed a franchise agreement for vehicle glass repair and replacement networks in Poland and Czech Republic.

AGC, Ericsson and Domoco have achieved what is believed to be the world’s first 5G mobile telecommunications using antennas embedded in glass to transmit and receive 28 GHz radio signals.

SK telecom and Seoul metropolitan government plan to install 5G ADAS on 1600 buses and 100 taxis in Seoul, helping to create a real-time HD city map for use in autonomous vehicles.

Glass antenna technology was born in the USA in the 1970s, led by manufacturers of metal antennas. Foreseeing the importance of telematics in the auto industry at the time, AGC decided to develop its own glass antennas.

We don’t give a second thought to windshield wipers – until we can’t see clearly. But it is worth stopping to thank the pioneers who invented these safety devices that have saved countless lives in rain and snow.
