New generation automobiles are equipped with various advanced electronic features,an important one of which is the power window. The power window has many advanced features that make it user-friendly, such as the single-press switch.However, although it offers advantages like ease-of-use to the passenger and driver, it can cause harm if it traps any body part. The anti-pinch system is a solution to this problem as it stops the glass from closing as soon as it detects an obstruction in its path. In the EU and the US, anti-pinch window system manufacturers have to follow set industry standards and specifications.
