An automotive glazing system, comprising: at least one glass layer (2); a plurality of light emitters (10) injecting light into at least a portion of at least one edge of the glazing; a plurality of light detectors (20) measuring simultaneously the intensity of light emitted by each of said plurality of light emitters from at least a portion of at least one edge of the glazing; and at least one processing unit (15) communicably coupled to the automotive glazing, the plurality of light emitters and the plurality of light detectors to: scan periodically the intensity of light received by said plurality of light detectors; store the scanned data; compare new scans with historical data; estimate the presence of contaminants by a drop in intensity at some detectors without an increase at some detectors; and estimate the safety status of the glazing by identifying permanent damage by an increase in intensity at some detectors.
