In this episode of The Inevitable by MotorTrend Channel, we dive into the future of automotive glass with Mike Kunigonis, the brains behind Corning Automotive Glass Solutions. Forget cracked windshields, Corning is revolutionizing the game with their cutting-edge technology. From iPhones to laptops, Corning's glass is everywhere, and now they're bringing their expertise to the world of automotive.
Kunigonis spills the beans on optical fiber, a game-changer that's set to replace traditional copper wiring in vehicles. This futuristic glass solution offers mind-blowing bandwidth capabilities, nearly infinite compared to its outdated counterpart. Not only does optical fiber provide a weight-saving of 30-40%, but it also allows for more flexible installation, making life easier for car manufacturers and assembly line workers.
The transition to optical fiber in cars is not just a trend; it's a necessity driven by the increasing data demands of modern vehicles. With sensors, displays, and autonomy on the rise, copper wiring is reaching its limits. Kunigonis explains how optical fiber ensures low latency, high bandwidth, and future-proofing for vehicles, aligning perfectly with the era of cloud computing in the automotive industry. The future is clear, and it's made of glass - Corning glass, to be exact.
