AGC has developed the world's first FIR sensor-enabled windshield, paving the way to enhanced driving safety

AGC has developed the world's first^1 FIR^() sensor-enabled windshield for vehicles, an innovation that is expected to enhance driving safety. Integrating FIR sensors into ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) compensates for the limitations of visible light sensors, while sensor fusion technology merges data from both systems to vastly improve visibility. Ultimately, AGC aims to use its experience and knowledge to eliminate all pedestrian traffic fatalities.

^1 According to an AGC study*

^() far-infrared (FIR) sensors capable of detecting pedestrians beyond the reach of headlights*

FIR sensors can detect pedestrians up to 120 meters away, beyond the reach of high beams and the visible light sensors commonly used in ADAS.
