A new generation of automotive optics is emerging in the 2020s—and it has nothing to do with lidar. Look on the inside of a shiny new Mercedes-Benz EQ, for example, and you will see a glass display screen sweeping from driver dashboard to passenger door, and incorporating a speedometer, a map display, front-passenger entertainment and much more. While the use and size of automotive flat-panel displays have been growing for years, Mercedes’ “MBUX Hyperscreen” display is the first to stretch across the car’s entire width.
