Recently, Fuyao's innovative Smart Vision Windshield Glass made its official debut at the Shanghai Auto Show and was firstly equipped on the Cadillac VISTIQ. As the industry's first in-cabin hidden LiDAR windshield solution, it has drawn widespread attention across the sector. By deeply integrating LiDAR sensors into automotive windshields, Fuyao Smart Vision Windshield Glass delivers a more concise and reliable solution for intelligent driving perception systems.

Smart Vision Windshield Debuts at Shanghai Auto Show
Against the rapid development of
intelligent driving, LiDAR is regarded as a core sensor for
semi-autonomous and fully autonomous driving. It accurately detects
object distances and contours by emitting laser beams, providing
core data for functions such as AEB and adaptive cruise control.
Different from ultrasonic sensors and cameras, LiDAR features a
maximum detection range of 500 meters and can directly acquire
object distance and orientation data without relying on deep
learning algorithms.
Cadillac Adopts Fuyao In-cabin Hidden
LiDAR Windshield Solution
Currently, mainstream
vehicle-mounted LiDAR installation solutions mostly adopt external
layouts on vehicle roofs, bumpers or headlamps. Such layouts have
multiple drawbacks: prone to dirt accumulation and difficult
cleaning, vulnerable to damage, easy to form detection blind
spots, ruining streamlined body design and increasing wind
resistance.
To solve these industry pain
points, Fuyao launched the innovative Smart Vision Windshield
Glass. Centered on the concept of in-cabin integration, it places
LiDAR inside the windshield and boasts the following advantages:
【Resistant to Dirt & Easy Maintenance】
Whether in low-visibility weather such as rain, snow, mud and sandstorms, or when hitting flying insects during long-distance driving, the windshield can be quickly cleaned by standard windshield wipers, effectively preventing external environmental factors from interfering with LiDAR sensitivity. Meanwhile, the hidden layout behind the windshield lowers the risk of high-cost LiDAR components being damaged in daily collisions.
【Integrated Styling & Optimized Wind Resistance】
The in-cabin hidden design eliminates protruding roof structures and awkward external layouts, delivering smoother body lines. It effectively reduces drag coefficient, thus improving vehicle cruising range and in-car quietness simultaneously.
【Undamaged Signals & Precise Detection】
Curved windshields usually cause LiDAR signal attenuation. After years of technical research, Fuyao has adopted innovative materials and optimized production processes to enable windshields to meet high near-infrared light transmittance requirements for LiDAR. Cooperating with ultra-long-range LiDAR detection, the smart windshield enables early road condition prediction under complex driving scenarios and greatly enhances the reliability of autonomous driving systems.
As a phased achievement of Fuyao in the intelligent driving field, Smart Vision Windshield Glass marks solid progress in technological innovation. Going forward, as a professional automotive glass supplier, Fuyao will keep forging ahead in this field, steadily fulfill its supporting role in the automotive industry, continuously explore in-depth integration between auto glass and intelligent hardware, and provide more efficient and reliable solutions for the whole industry with persistent pursuit of ultimate excellence.
