AURORA, ON, Jan. 2, 2018
/CNW/ - Magna, a technology company and one of the world's largest
suppliers to the automotive industry, will showcase key products in
electrification, autonomy and mobility during CES 2018.
At the Magna booth, #7506 in North Hall LVCC, attendees will get
an interactive glimpse into the car of the future in two ways:
- By using virtual reality technology, attendees experience
firsthand how an autonomous vehicle works. Virtual reality gives a
unique opportunity to see the world through the "eyes" of some of
the industry's most advanced solutions developed by Magna.
- Attendees can also design their own new mobility vehicle and
take their bespoke design for a virtual test drive.
In addition, the company will showcase its latest
electrification technology through its e1 demonstration concept
vehicle. The e1 consists of one integrated e-drive system on the
front axle and one on the rear axle with two electric motors
(e-motors) providing superior longitudinal and lateral dynamics
combined with excellent vehicle stability for more safety.
"Magna is a company of entrepreneurial-minded people dedicated
to developing mobility solutions that will change the way the world
moves," said Swamy Kotagiri, Magna's
Chief Technology Officer. "At CES 2018, we will demonstrate why
Magna is an ideal partner for the industry's autonomy,
electrification and new mobility needs."
Magna also comes to CES ready to vet new partners. The company
has already partnered with universities (including MIT, Stanford, etc.),
technology companies, incubators and start-ups to identify and
auto-qualify new technologies. In the past 12 months, Magna has
scanned more than 800 companies and entered proof-of-concept stage
with more than 30 start-ups.
