Though at a nascent stage, wiper-free windshield is slated to take over the automotive windshield market. Mercedes-Benz already took one small step by integrating the windshield fluid delivery system directly into the wiper and eradicating the windshield spray jets on its SL sports car Meanwhile, McLaren vies to borrow military technology and go a step further, doing away with the wiper altogether.

The popularity of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) has risen significantly as it is being integrated in the windshield of the vehicles to propel driver safety. The ADAS is embedded to infrared camera which extends driver’s vision at night and with the help of radar technology it can detect crash. Furthermore, there is growing traction on developing augmented reality with the application of internet of things (IoT). This will help passengers and drivers to make calls with passengers of different vehicles on a real-time basis. Al these present a sanguine picture for the pertinent players in automotive windshield market.
