| Building a safer car is one thing, but actively involving the vehicle to warn and assist the driver to avoid an accident in the first place represents the coming wave of improvements in auto safety technology. When DuPont is involved at the concept stage for such systems, suppliers and the OEM end users can gain a big advantage. DuPont can offer design assistance for performance and cost optimization, combining our |

electronic materials with DuPont new display technologies, engineering plastics and other materials for housing, integrating and protecting the systems from EMI and RFI. Radar and infrared detection systems, electronic stability, X-by-wire systems and head-up and other displays will benefit from the unmatched breath of DuPont materials technologies, engineering and manufacturing process capabilities.
The display area where most drivers will get their warnings and advice to evade an accident is already in a number of luxury vehicle windshields. Serving as an image combiner, the DuPont Wedge® windscreen interlayer is precisely engineered and angled to deliver a precise image with minimal distortion -- an increasingly important feature to avoid driver fatigue.
Look to DuPont for solutions that may involve new value chains with deep expertise to make the vision of collision avoidance a reality.
