VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
May 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Would
you like your vehicle to suggest a different route to or from work
when there are unexpected delays on your regular course? What if
your vehicle's cabin temperature adjusted automatically based on
your preferences and the outside temperature?

Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) has developed a unique cockpit
concept that offers these solutions and others by
incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver an enhanced
driving experience. Visteon's Human Bayesian Intelligence
Technology (HABIT) system employs machine learning algorithms that
are cognizant of the specific driver and the surrounding
environment.
The HABIT system continually learns as it processes a driver's
selections of climate temperatures, radio stations, phone call
tendencies and other unique behaviors depending on the outside
temperature and time of day. It factors in the individual's
historical inputs to present a human-machine interaction (HMI) that
is customized for the driver. The system also learns the driver's
tastes -- even when he or she is not in the vehicle. For example,
HABIT registers activity like music that the driver has listened to
using his or her on-line music library or Internet radio.
"The goal of HABIT is to become an experience that improves each
time the driver uses the ever-aware system," said Shadi Mere,
innovation manager at Visteon. "With vehicle manufacturers striving
to deliver a more personalized driving experience, the HABIT
cockpit concept demonstrates how your car can learn and grow with
you over its lifetime."
During a recent research clinic, more than 70 percent of survey
respondents had a positive initial reaction to the HABIT concept.
Respondents liked the anticipatory learning of the system and the
natural voice interaction, combined with voice shortcuts, which
aligned with their expectations of voice commands similar to the
ones on their smartphones and other devices. Visteon's cockpit
concept incorporates high-end graphics and animation designed to
improve interaction with mobile devices.
