1. A trim element for a motor vehicle comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 m−1 in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm and having an external face and an internal face, wherein an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm is placed behind the internal face of the glass sheet,
wherein the trim element is not part of an automotive windshield, sidelite, or backlite, and
wherein the glass sheet has a visible light transmission value lower than 10% and a near infrared transmission value higher than 50%.
 
16. A trim element for a motor vehicle comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 m−1 in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm and having an external face and an internal face, wherein an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range from 1051 nm to 1650 nm is placed behind the internal face of the glass sheet,
wherein the trim element is not part of an automotive windshield, sidelite, or backlite, and
wherein the trim element is not located on a roof of the motor vehicle.
