Mercedes-Benz wants its cars to communicate with pedestrians and other drivers through their windows, potentially turning ordinary vehicle glass into another tool for road safety.

The automaker is developing a technology called Intelligent Display in Glass, which integrates LED elements into vehicle windows to show warning symbols, traffic information, and other visual alerts. The LEDs are designed to become nearly invisible when switched off, preserving the glass’s conventional appearance.

Mercedes is also exploring a holographic display that could show different information to drivers and passengers. Neither technology has a confirmed production release date, and questions remain about how the displays would perform under real-world driving conditions.
