Optical waveguide visor structures: BYDRecent Research Landscape

Direct glare during driving creates safety risks and visual fatigue that traditional mechanical visors cannot dynamically mitigate. These innovations utilize waveguide geometry and electronic light modulation to provide precise, automated occlusion of specific light paths.

What technical problems is BYD addressing in Optical waveguide visor structures?

Driver visual distraction

(72)evidences

Standard vehicle displays obstruct the operator's line of sight or require frequent eye diversion from the path of travel. Minimizing these visual interruptions enhances situational awareness and operational safety.

Sensor surface contaminant accumulation

(43)evidences

External vehicle components and environmental conditions interfere with the clear line of sight required for rear-facing monitoring systems. Resolving these visibility barriers ensures reliable automated data capture for safety and identification.

Rearview visibility interference and failure

(21)evidences

Electronic vision systems are prone to hardware malfunctions and software crashes that compromise driver safety. Identifying and managing these faults ensures continuous visibility and operational reliability.
