Gauzy

Gauzy is a light and vision control solutions company that develops smart glass solutions for a range of industries and AI-powered advanced driver assistance systems for buses and trucks. The company’s initial product offering focused on buses and, as of September 2024, was in use in public buses and coaches in more than 80 cities worldwide. In September 2024, Gauzy unveiled its first AI-powered advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for commercial trucks.

Gauzy’s ADAS system, "Smart-Vision camera monitor system," consists of interior displays and HD cameras affixed to the exterior of commercial trucks to provide commercial truck operators with increased road visibility. It is also equipped with AI-powered self-learning and predictive capabilities. Features of Smart-Vision CMS include real-time notifications, adaptive maneuver lines on the system display to monitor the distance between a vehicle and an obstacle, and backward planning functionality while a commercial truck is in reverse. The system also includes collision avoidance/detection technologies, blind spot information systems, and a surveillance mode for added security. The system can reportedly be integrated with any commercial truck model or trailer.

In February 2022, Gauzy acquired Vision Systems, a French company specializing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and shading solutions for USD 60 million. This acquisition expanded Gauzy's product portfolio to include camera-based image analysis, monitoring systems, and innovative smart mirrors. In June 2024, the company announced an initial public offering (IPO) for aggregate gross proceeds of USD 75 million.
