This is part of a series exploring how Miru dynamic glass is being applied across industries including automotive, architecture, wearables, and autonomous systems.
Vehicles today are taking on more driving tasks than ever before. Automakers continue to expand the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and move toward increasingly assisted and autonomous driving.
Features such as lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and hands-free highway driving are all powered by ADAS. Together, they help vehicles monitor their surroundings, identify hazards, and support driving decisions in real time.
Cameras have become one of the most important safety systems on modern vehicles, enabling ADAS to “see” and understand the world around them.
Like the human eye, however, cameras are vulnerable to light and glare. Low sun angles, oncoming headlights, and strong reflections can reduce image quality and make it more difficult for systems to accurately interpret their surroundings.
Today, the glass surface protecting these cameras remains static. The surface allows all light to pass through, including the stray and scattered light that causes flare and reduces contrast. Static glass has increasingly become a limitation for camera-based safety systems.
The same dynamic glass platform behind Miru’s automotive and wearables applications applies here. Miru integrates electrochromic technology directly into the glass surface protecting ADAS cameras, managing incoming light before it reaches the sensors.
This creates two advantages:
Dynamic flare reduction: The dynamic glass responds to changing light conditions, including low sun angles, direct glare, and strong reflections, helping cameras maintain image quality and clarity under all lighting conditions.
Neutral color: ADAS systems rely on color information to interpret traffic signals, brake lights, road signs, and other critical visual inputs. Miru’s technology manages light without introducing significant color distortion.
ADAS performance ultimately depends on the quality of what the camera “sees”. By transforming sensor-facing glass into an intelligent surface, Miru helps create a more reliable foundation for the next generation of assisted and autonomous driving systems.
