  165. <p><strong>GPS &amp; GNSS Sensors</strong><br /><a href="https://www.gps.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Global Navigation Satellite System">Global Navigation Satellite System</a> (GNSS) is a mind blowing technology turns a paper road map into a real life 3-D model. Comprising over 30 Earth-orbiting satellites, GNSS transmits precise time and position data incessantly. When a receiver captures signals from at least four of these satellites, it can triangulate its position, with the accuracy increasing as more satellites come into play. ADAS systems rely on GNSS sensors to determine the vehicle&#8217;s position and orientation relative to its surroundings.</p>
  166. <p>The integration of GNSS sensors empowers vehicles to make informed decisions based on their location and the surrounding environment. Furthermore, this ADAS feature paves the way for the future of fully autonomous cars, as GNSS receivers utilize various frequencies, constellations, and cutting-edge technologies to provide unparalleled positioning and sensor integration.</p>
  167. <p><strong>Pros Cons of GPS &amp; GNSS</strong></p>
  168. <p><strong>Pros</strong><br /><strong>Simplicity:</strong> Implementing cutting-edge technologies such as lidar and machine learning in ADAS vehicles can be quite challenging. In contrast, integrating GNSS sensors into the system is relatively simple. The ability to combine multiple devices into a single sensing environment is crucial for seamless operation.<br /><strong>Affordability:</strong> The long commercial life of GPS has contributed to its affordability. Over time, GPS has become a common technology, allowing businesses to invest in developing low-cost variants. While researchers are still working on reducing the cost of GPS sensors, their current affordability is a significant advantage.<br /><strong>Separation:</strong> Unlike other technologies, GPS does not rely on a vehicle&#8217;s immediate vicinity for operation. Instead, it is based on the movement of satellites. This separation from the vehicle&#8217;s location makes GPS an excellent choice for data authentication, ensuring accurate and reliable information.</p>
  169. <p><strong>Cons</strong><br /><strong>Inaccuracy:</strong> While GNSS receivers can pinpoint their location with precision, this accuracy may not be sufficient for primary navigation in cars. If even one satellite is out of position, the location data provided by the GNSS sensor can be completely thrown off. To mitigate this issue, GNSS receivers must rely on data from multiple satellites.<br /><strong>Unreliability:</strong> For GPS receivers to function with the desired precision, they require a line of sight to at least four satellites. This requirement makes GNSS receivers less suitable for urban environments, where tall buildings and other obstacles can obstruct the line of sight.<br /><strong>Dependency on Mapping:</strong> GNSS sensors heavily rely on mapping data to function effectively. If the GPS receivers fail to receive signals from the satellites, they become useless. Additionally, the mapping data must be regularly updated for the system to work accurately, adding to the overall cost of an ADAS system.</p>
  170. <p><strong>Ultrasonic &amp; Sonar Sensors</strong><br />Ultrasonic sensors are primarily used in parking assist and self-parking systems. These sensors, positioned inside the front and/or rear bumper covers. They use sound waves, like sonar, it emits these frequencies to detect people and objects near the vehicle. They also help determine if the vehicle is properly positioned within a parking space, providing warnings or adjusting the position if necessary.</p>
  171. <p>Sonar sensors play a crucial role in air-bag control systems. When the car&#8217;s airbags are deployed, these sensors emit ultrasound bursts to determine the exact location of the occupant, aiding in the deployment of airbags for maximum safety.</p>

This involves combining data from various sensors, including radar, lidar, cameras, and more, to create a unified model. By fusing the finest data from each sensor, while disregarding irrelevant information, vehicles equipped with sensor fusion systems can enhance ADAS features such as cross-traffic aid and obstacle avoidance.</p>
  173. <p><strong>Cameras are excellent at detecting roads, reading signs, and identifying other vehicles</strong></p>
  174. <ul>
  175. <li>Lidar solutions excel at accurately determining the car&#8217;s position</li>
  176. <li>Radars are better suited for measuring speed.</li>
  177. <li>Sensor fusion allows for the integration of these distinct capabilities, providing a 360-degree view of the vehicle&#8217;s environment.</li>
  178. </ul>
  179. <p><strong>ADAS Calibration</strong><br />ADAS sensor technology is undoubtedly exciting, but it also requires regular calibration to ensure optimal performance. Calibration becomes necessary after events such as windshield replacement, fender benders, collisions, adjacent repair work, or changes in wheel alignment. Whenever a sensor is moved from its original position, it must be recalibrated by a professional in a specially designed environment.</p>
  180. <p>Failure to calibrate ADAS sensors can result in inoperable or incorrectly functioning systems. This can lead to warning alerts, braking, or steering actions occurring too soon or too late, compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.

  324. <div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2>What is Infrared Coating (IR Coating)?</h2>
  325. <p>In recent years, the automotive industry has witnessed significant advancements in technology, particularly in the field of windshield manufacturing. One such innovation is the use of infrared (IR) coating.</p>
  326. <p>Infrared coating is a thin layer of material applied to the surface of glass. This coating is composed of a combination of <a href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/metal-oxide-semiconductor">metal oxides</a>, such as <a href="https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803104713893">tin oxide</a> and <a href="https://www.photonics.com/EDU/indium_tin_oxide_ITO/d4717">indium tin oxide</a> (ITO), which possess unique properties that block out infrared radiation from entering the vehicle.</p>
  327. <p><strong>Tin (IV) Oxide</strong><br />
  328. Transparent conductive oxide that exhibits excellent <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/conductivity">electrical conductivity</a>. This property allows it to act as a barrier against <a href="https://www.britannica.com/science/infrared-radiation">infrared radiation</a>, preventing it from passing through the glass. Additionally, tin oxide is highly durable and resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and oxidation.</p>
  329. <p><strong>Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)</strong><br />
  330. Compound composed of indium, tin, and oxygen, which possesses both electrical conductivity and transparency. ITO is widely used in various applications due to its unique combination of properties. In the context of IR coating, ITO enhances the conductivity of the tin oxide layer.</p>
  331. <p><strong>The automatic car start function will not work</strong> unless there is a &#8220;transmission pass through&#8221; to get through the IR blocking (metal oxide properties) auto glass.</div>

  348. <description><![CDATA[Depending on your deductible and the cost of your replacement windshield, you could wind up paying the full cost for the replacement. Without a warranty, if and when the installation of your glass is problematic, you will have to pay for the replacement of the windshield. You also will have to take into account the policy of your insurance company when thinking about replacing the windshield. While the cost of a new windshield will vary among different vehicle models and providers, there are some clear factors that will impact your costs. The company that you choose to have your windshield repaired will dictate both cost and the level of service that you receive. Paying the $20 extra to have the windshield repaired goes toward the life-time guarantee, which could eventually prove beneficial.]]></description>

The cost to replace your windshield is determined not only by what kind of car glass company you have hired for the job, but by the location where you repaired your vehicle. Another factor that may influence the price you pay for auto glass replacement is what features the windshield has, or what features your vehicle has that are connected to the windshield.</p>
  408. <p>The type of glass used in your car could impact the replacement cost between 40-60%, which is why choosing the right glass is important. It typically costs more to replace if this is the type of glass required for your car.</p></div>

Some windshields also feature a specific tint to fit the digital displays, which can increase your replacement cost as well.</p>
  411. <p>Depending on your deductible and the cost of your replacement windshield, you could wind up paying the full cost for the replacement. Without a warranty, if and when the installation of your glass is problematic, you will have to pay for the replacement of the windshield. You also will have to take into account the policy of your insurance company when thinking about replacing the windshield.</p>
  412. <p>While the cost of a new windshield will vary among different vehicle models and providers, there are some clear factors that will impact your costs. The company that you choose to have your windshield repaired will dictate both cost and the level of service that you receive. Paying the $20 extra to have the windshield repaired goes toward the life-time guarantee, which could eventually prove beneficial.</div>

Older models that do not have a windshield sensor or specialized windshield wipers typically run $250 to $400 on average, while fixing a chip on your own may run $60 to $100. At the higher end, a luxury cars windshield may cost $1,000 to more than $4,500 to replace. Even replacing the windshield on a head-up-display vehicle without a driver-assistance system and rain-sensing wipers could easily run more than $1,500. </div>

  430. <div class="et_pb_text_inner">If your car is equipped with rain sensing wipers and advanced driver-assistance systems like Automatic Braking and adaptive cruise control, expect to spend <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/it-may-cost-more-than-you-think-to-replace-windshield/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$2,000 or perhaps even more on a replacement windshield</a>, recalibration of safety features, and the obligatory push-pull wheel alignment (which makes sure your drivers wheels are properly aligned with your non-drivers wheels). Vehicles equipped with ADAS and rain sensing wipers need a lot more work than popping off your cracked windshield and installing a replacement. Sensors in the glass, like the rain sensors, and wipers from various makes and models also factor into repair costs. Luxury vehicles such as Lexus and Mercedes-Benz need special windshields, which add to the repair costs. </p>
  431. <p>Also, the Mercedes Benz-specific windshields cost much more than average. While costs will vary depending on the car brand and model, research conducted by AAA across 16 US cities found that the replacement windshield of a Honda Accord costs $250-300, and that a BMW X6 costs $350-450. An OEM windshield can cost up to 40% more than aftermarket, so ask the car glass shop which glass is installed if they are offering a lower price than the others. </p>
  432. <p>You may find an aftermarket windshield at a lower cost (about $100 cheaper) that takes slightly less time to repair, but using a lower-grade material could be a recipe for your windshield coming off in a collision. <a href="https://www.pdxautoglass.com/5-things-that-make-cracks-in-windshields-worse/" target="blank" rel="noopener">Windshield cracks may appear easier with non-OEM glass</a>. Of course, poor installation from a less-than-reliable repair shop could lead to the windshield coming off of your vehicle should you be involved in a crash. A bad or incorrect installation done by any old repair shop could cause your windshield to detach from the vehicle in an accident, rendering your airbags useless. </p>
  433. <p>While it is possible to fix small chips, larger cracks will render the windshield less stable, making replacing your windshield sooner rather than later necessary. In general, you should replace your cracked windshield following a collision, or any time that it is interfering with your sightline. When your windshield is cracked, chipped, or broken, you must have it repaired or replaced in order to maintain your vehicles safety. First, consider carefully if your windshield damage is one that needs to be repaired or replaced immediately. </p>
  434. <p>Windshield repair or replacement typically takes less than one hour, and can be done at your driveway or in any public location. RW Auto Glass always promotes and recommends <a href="https://www.pdxautoglass.com/what-is-oem-auto-glass-and-how-are-windshields-made/" target="blank" rel="noopener">Made in America Auto Glass that is OEM</a>. Fortunately, unlike many types of auto repairs, repairing or replacing your windshield is a fairly quick process. </p>
  435. <p>If the windshield on your car, van, or SUV has sustained any sort of damage, then you should not make any delays getting the windshield on your vehicle repaired or replaced entirely. The minute you notice some kind of damage to the windshield, like that caused by the recent hailstorm, you should schedule an appointment at your local body shop to get your glass replaced, or at least repaired. </p>
  436. <p>It is important for the body shop or glass company to have your vehicles year, make, model, and vehicle identification number, so the proper replacement windshield can be installed. Check with your dealership and with the aftermarket car glass companies to determine what type of replacement windshield is required, if it needs to be engineered with HUD, ADAS, and rain-sensing wipers, or if a basic windshield is enough. </div>

  506. <div class="et_pb_text_inner">Drivers could benefit from having an automatic-dimming technology that is incorporated into their windshields in the future. This new technology allows drivers to dim certain areas of the windshield in order to avoid blinding glare when driving. A modern cars windshield can also feature dedicated viewing areas for a heads-up display, as well as technologies related to auto wipers or auto-dimming high-beams. Some vehicles feature very large windshields, and others go as far as incorporating an entire glass sunroof. </div>

Modern glass uses new materials, electronics, and sensors, replacing traditional, primitive methods of replacing windshields. Gorilla Glass is used in automobile windshields, and has taken the auto industry by storm.
  509. Its display is three times more clear and vibrant than normal windshield glass. This special glass works just like a heated rear windshield, but there is no black lines, which are normally seen. The <a href="https://info.glass.com/the-future-of-auto-glass/">future auto glass transparency</a> technology can change filters so it can bring in or block out light. For example, the glass on your windshield will automatically get darker when light gets brighter outside your vehicle. </div>

  511. <div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>Windshields with Auto-Heating &#038; Rain Cleaning Feature</h3>
  512. <strong>If you can see a network of lines through the glass, then the windshield has an auto-heating feature.</strong> With a heated windshield, you will be able to eliminate the fog or condensation from the glass in the windshield right after starting the vehicle, which will provide you with clear vision and an enjoyable ride.
  513.  
  514. Maybe windshield wipers will be obsolete in the future? By applying <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mclaren-wiperless-windshield_n_4468971" target="blank" rel="noopener">high-frequency sound waves on the surface of the glass</a>, the vehicle will have a cleaner windshield automatically and continuously.

  519. Technologies like augmented reality, automated emergency brake systems, auto-dimming, rain sensors, and a number of other advances have been integrated into car glass technology. The way you drive a vehicle, and the experiences you have within it, are changing quickly as a result of advances in glass technology.
  520.  
  521. When we are talking about smart tech on the windshield, it is not all about Google directions for the nearest restaurant (although it might), there are a lot of advanced security features that might be included too, and as <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/toyota-patents-new-augmented-reality-windshield-tech" target="blank" rel="noopener">PCMag</a> points out, the windows may be getting smarter upgrades in the future, if Toyota has anything to do with it. While smart technologies in windshields are presently going to mean higher sticker prices for windshields, the costs are going to come down drastically as this technology becomes more widespread. Things like damaged bumpers or cracked windshields are costing drivers more money than ever, and itas all due to the cutting-edge technologies driving those features.</div>

  523. <div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3>Future of Windshield Replacement</h3>
  524. <p>While there are sensors everywhere in a vehicle driving the increased cost of repairs, the rising costs of replacing a windshield are particularly striking (and painful) to most drivers. In addition to increased costs due to required calibration costs, automakers are increasingly requiring (or at least strongly encouraging) drivers to replace windshields with OEM glass.</p>
  525. <p><strong>As cars get complicated, service shops often switch to aftermarket parts that are better in quality in order to cut costs, but Ford, Honda, and FCA have all recommended that you do not use aftermarket windshields. That is why Right Windshield Auto Glass promotes Made in America <a href="https://www.pdxautoglass.com/what-is-oem-auto-glass-and-how-are-windshields-made/">auto glass OEM windshields.</a></strong></p>
  526. <p>As technology changes, and the glass on your car becomes more and more important, you will want to be sure to find a reputable shop that will perform a windshield repair or replacement. If you need to replace the windshield because of a crash or damage, you are better off getting a different OEM part to ensure the new sensors are working the way they are supposed to.</p>
  527. <p>If you need auto glass repair/replacement because of chipping or cracking, and you have the rain sensors in the vehicle, you can trust Right Windshield Auto Glass to replace your windshield the right way.</p></div>

  604. <p>The following accidents are taken from real life tragic incidents. The content is being used to emphasize the message in this article while offering proactive tips.<br />
  605. <br />
  606. <strong>Accident #1</strong><br />
  607. An <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/10/01/metro/driver-killed-by-flying-piece-metal-debris-i-95-danvers/" target="blank" rel="noopener">Alaskan man vacationing in New England</a> was killed Friday when a large metal object suddenly broke through the windshield of his rental car, police said. Massachusetts state police said a piece of metal came from a dump truck and the vehicle was driven by Thomas Arrington, 69, of Palmer, Alaska, outside an off-ramp on Route 114 about 9 a.m. Friday. </p>
  608. <p><strong>Proactive Tips</strong></p>
  609. <li>The system of driving in the UK is completely different than the US. We drive on the right side of the road. They drive on the left. Be aware of their laws and learn their driving system.</li>
  610. <li>Keep the 3-second rule while trailing any vehicle but keep extra distance (5-seconds) for dump trucks, diesels, oversized vehicles.</li>
  611. <li>As we get older in age, we must take extra precautions. This is because as we age our response time is not as fast.</li>
  612. <p>
  613. <strong>Accident #2</strong><br />
  614. A <a href="https://wreg.com/news/mid-south/driver-killed-after-debris-flies-through-windshield-in-middle-tn/" target="blank" rel="noopener">27-year-old man is dead after debris flew through his vehicle’s windshield</a> in an accident late Saturday on Interstate 840 late Saturday. A 24-year-old motorist was driving his car when the light-colored pickup truck or SUV ahead of him ran into the metal debris, sending it flying in the air, according to investigators with the California Highway Patrol. </p>
  615. <p><strong>Proactive Tips</strong></p>
  616. <li>New drivers and single adults are statistically known to take more risks (why not, they are young and vibrant!). There is also a plethora of tech that can distract young vibrant drivers. Remember to keep the 3-5 second rule (depending on how large the vehicle and if they are giving off debris).</li>
  617. <li>Keep your distance in between drivers and avoid congestion and changing lanes.</li></div>

  831. <ul>
  832. <li>Governor Doug Ducey made Arizona the home for testing of self-driving autonomous vehicles</li>
  833. <li>Google’s parent company Alphabet unleashes Waymo self driving vans across Arizona</li>
  834. <li>75% of all auto parts used in North American vehicles will be made in the USA thanks to USMCA</li>
  835. <li>Brexit may accelerate the expansion of US influence in the UK and EU auto industry</li>
  836. <li>Intelligent Glass Control or AI windshields will revolutionize the Auto Glass industry</li>
  837. </ul>
  838. <p>RW Auto Glass has a mission and that is to give our customers top of the line auto glass repair and windshield replacement service, protect Arizona residents from fraudulent Auto Glass companies and to inform the public of news in the auto industry.</p>
  839. <p>With the passing of USMCA and the possible fall-out from Brexit, the <a href="https://www.richardsautoclinic.com/arizona-auto-industry-booms-with-usmca-and-brexit/" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">US may become the world’s leader in the production of auto parts all around the world</a>.</p>
  840. <p>Because of the advancement of auto parts in AI cars and the development of electric vehicles, Arizona will be the next hotspot to build, test and manufacture vehicles.</p>
  841. <h3>Intelligent Windshields, Driverless Vehicles and AI Car Parts</h3>
  842. <p>RW Auto Glass is excited to work on future intelligent windshields and glass! The technology looks so cool! It will take some time before this type of manufacturing is available to the majority of Americans, but let’s take a look at the future of car design.</p>
  843. <p><strong>Continental’s Intelligent Glass Control</strong><br />The future of auto glass is that it will have the capability to automatically tint itself to keep sunlight and heat out of the vehicle. For Arizona, this is a dream come true. We will no longer have to fight for shade when parking the car.</p>
  844. <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7tXxrqIQigo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
  845. <p><strong>Future Electrical Technology in AI Cars</strong><br />At the 2020 CES tech show in Las Vegas, Mercedes-Benz presented the future concept designs of their vehicles. It was straight out of a science fiction movie.</p>
  846. <p>Audi also presented a <a href="https://carbuzz.com/news/audi-reveals-game-changing-display-tech" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">3D mixed reality</a> that goes beyond the Intelligent Glass Design. The Audi technology uses a transparent dashboard that can play a movie while showing you social media posts, etc…</p>
  847. <p>Watch the video below by BMW. The race to a more comfortable and entertaining drive is right around the corner.</p>
  848. <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k0moJSTIM1o" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
  849. <h3>Electronic Car Manufacturing in Arizona, USMCA and Brexit</h3>
  850. <p>Richards Auto Clinic, an excellent auto repair shop in Phoenix, put out a new article that predicts a <a href="https://www.richardsautoclinic.com/arizona-auto-industry-booms-with-usmca-and-brexit/" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">huge economic boom to the AZ Auto Industry with the passage of the USMCA trade deal and Brexit fall-out</a>.</p>
  851. <p>USMCA will boost car part manufacturing in America. We will be providing <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/usmca-automakers-us-america-ford-ceo" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">75% of all auto parts used to build cars in North America</a>. <a href="https://corporate.ford.com/content/dam/corporate/en/company/government-relations/what-is-the-usmca.pdf" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ford has hailed this as a great achievement</a>.</p>
  852. <p>With the passage of Brexit in UK, the auto industry is hurting in the UK and in Europe. Britains have already lost 1,000 jobs at their largest car maker Jaguar Land Rover. An extra 500 are at risk. US purchases about 18-percent of cars made in the UK. Europe purchases a whopping 54% of cars made in the UK.</p>
  853. <p><a href="https://www.pdxautoglass.com/rw-auto-glass-welcomes-lucid-motors-to-the-city-of-casa-grande/" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Right Windshield Auto Glass welcomed Legacy Motors to Casa Grande in our last blog</a>. They are building a $674 million dollar factory on over 500-acres of land. Just east of Casa Grande, Nikola will be building zero-emission heavy trucks in Coolidge.</p>
  854. <p>With the passage of USMCA, the future of AI vehicles needing specialized auto parts that will be made in America and Arizona’s future car manufacturing, you can rest assure we are going to see a huge boom in the Auto Industry in Arizona.</p>
  855. <h3>Arizona May Become the Leader of Future AI Car Manufacturing</h3>
  856. <p>If you drive around Arizona you will see <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/9/21000085/waymo-fully-driverless-car-self-driving-ride-hail-service-phoenix-arizona" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Waymo driverless vans</a>. The technology is not perfect, but it is an insight into the future of Arizona’s transportation.</p>
  857. <p>Waymo is Alphabet’s self driving subsidiary. Alphabet is also the parent company of Google and we all know Google is taking over the world (good, bad or indifferent).</p>
  858. <p>What makes this all interesting is that <a href="https://azgovernor.gov/governor/news/2018/03/governor-ducey-updates-autonomous-vehicle-executive-order" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Governor Doug Ducey saw the importance of self-driving and autonomous testing</a> and electric car manufacturing years before America knew what was going on. There will be problems with this new technology. For example, a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/technology/uber-driverless-fatality.html" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">self-driving uber car killed a pedestrian in Tempe Arizona</a>. It was a horrible event that exposed the vulnerabilities this technology has.</p>
  859. <p>Recently, Gov. Ducey signed an <a href="https://azgovernor.gov/sites/default/files/related-docs/eo2018-04_1.pdf" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">executive order</a> that all companies building AI vehicles must abide by. It is step in the right direction. Like it or not, driverless cars and intelligent AI auto parts are here. There’s no going back.</p>

  1066. <h2>Pay Attention to the Little Things</h2>
  1067. <p>According to GoldEagle, seemingly <a href="https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/three-easy-ways-to-increase-the-value-of-your-classic-car/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">small details of a car</a>—old or chipped auto glass, cracked or faded rubber around windows, imperfections in doors and trunk—matter when resale value is concerned.

Routine checkups, mandatory maintenance, and proper replacement and repair of major parts that exist on the car will all impact you classic car’s value when the time finally comes for you to sell it.</p>
  1069. <p>When classic car owners choose to ignore or disregard certain minor repairs such as a cracked windshield or mirror, larger and oftentimes avoidable issues begin to unravel. Problems continue to build upon each other until all that remains is one big mess of a car that has depreciated considerably in value that will ultimately ward off most perspective buyers. It is classic car owner’s worst nightmare.</p>
