Patent number: 11661022Abstract: A vehicle includes a body of the vehicle and a sensing system coupled to the body. The sensing system includes optical componentry and a glass material, where the glass material at least in part houses the optical componentry and the glass material is at least partially transparent to light at the wavelength of the optical componentry. Further the glass material has mechanical and performance properties that allow the sensing system to be positioned particularly low on the vehicle, at a position that may be of higher risk for damage from debris.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Vikram Bhatia, Thomas Michael Cleary, Philippe Engel, Robin Merchant Walton, Jue Wang
