Claims17
A cover for a radar sensor for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a wall provided with a three-dimensional glass relief structure having multiple depressions and/or projections;
- wherein the wall having the three-dimensional glass relief structure is made of a deep-drawn glass, which is a reshaped flexible glass sheet,
- wherein a composition of the deep-drawn glass provides high transparency to high-frequency radar waves,
- wherein the high frequency radar waves are on the order of about 77 GHz, and
- wherein corner edges of the relief structure are rounded at least on the outwardly pointing side in relation to the radar sensor.
