Holographic Technology in Autonomous Vehicles: Enhancing Passenger Privacy

Abstract

Introduction

Autonomous vehicles are adopting holographic technology to enhance passenger privacy while maintaining comfort and safety. Holographic privacy uses light-based projections on vehicle windows to create opaque or semi-transparent visual barriers, offering a flexible alternative to tinted glass or physical blinds. Passengers can selectively see outside while preventing visibility from the exterior, which is especially useful in shared or personal AVs.

The system works through holographic displays embedded in the vehicle, combined with sensors and AI that adjust transparency in real time based on surroundings and user preferences. Passengers can control privacy levels via in-car interfaces or voice commands. Advanced concepts like electro-holographic windows enable dynamic, interactive smart glass.

Key benefits include improved privacy, reduced distractions, enhanced comfort, energy efficiency, and opportunities for customization and entertainment. However, challenges remain, such as high costs, technical complexity, performance issues under harsh conditions, and regulatory or ethical concerns related to safety and data protection.
