Self-Healing Car Windows

Vehicles are undergoing through a huge amount of stress these to deliver the best possible experience for the drivers. A common problem for daily drivers are small cracks in the windshield that come about, eventually. 

To combat this problem, self-healing (or self-repairing) substances are becoming more and more popular. While you shouldn't expect a completely shattered windshield from a car wreck to magically repair itself, smaller breaks (even bullet holes) could repair itself. Similar experiments have been used with smaller glass screens like cell phones and even plastics. Autoglass is fully charged with improving and making the best possible glass for vehicles. 

For a quick example,  fast forward to 50 seconds and watch the magic happen. 


This is beautiful for not only aesthetic reasons, but it could be a cost effective solution as well. No longer would a driver have to replace the entire windshield from multiple cracks or chips. Neither would they have to worry about the crack growing across the windshield, impairing the drivers view. 

With technology like this thanks to Autoglass, the future advancements of augmented dashboards on vehicles become that much more practical and safe.
