SHANGHAI, March 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon
Corporation (NYSE: VC) – a technology leader at the epicenter of
the fast-growing automotive cockpit electronics segment and a major
supplier to automakers in China –
will showcase its latest innovations for the connected car and
beyond at the 2017 International Automobile Industry Exhibition in
Shanghai from April 19-23.
Visteon is the only Tier 1 supplier focused exclusively on the
fast-growing cockpit electronics segment. The company's technology
will be featured at its exhibit (2A15) as well as inside dozens of
cars and trucks from global and domestic Chinese automakers that
will be on display at the National Exhibition and Convention Center
during Auto Shanghai 2017.
Headlining Visteon's exhibit will be its recently introduced
next-generation infotainment platform, Phoenix™, which is designed
to unlock innovation by enabling third-party developers to create
apps easily, while delivering built-in cybersecurity and
over-the-air updates. Based on HTML5 and offering a
JavaScript-based application program interface (API), Phoenix is the first automotive infotainment
system to offer a software development kit (SDK) and software
simulation to help enable easy development of apps.
Other highlights of Visteon's exhibit include an array of
eye-catching instrument clusters and information displays that will
become the primary interface with consumers as the all-digital
cockpit becomes reality – and new mobility models and autonomous
driving continue to evolve.
Visteon also will display the industry's first automotive-grade
integrated domain controller approach, called SmartCore™, which
addresses the increasing cost and complexity of in-vehicle
electronics by independently operating multiple features on one
System on Chip (SoC). SmartCore™ offers automakers a
cost-effective, space-saving cockpit electronics solution that can
integrate infotainment, instrument clusters, information displays,
head-up displays, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and
connectivity – providing a foundation for autonomous driving.
"China is not only the largest
automotive market in the world, it is Visteon's largest and
fastest-growing market," said Sachin
Lawande, Visteon president and CEO. "No other technology
segment is influencing the future of mobility more rapidly than
cockpit electronics, and Auto Shanghai 2017 is the ideal venue to
demonstrate how Visteon is transforming the future of mobility and
accelerating improvements in vehicle security, safety and the
driving experience."
Luke Lu, managing director for
Visteon China, added: "It is our great pleasure to participate in
the 2017 International Automobile Industry Exhibition in
Shanghai. Visteon is at the
forefront of bringing innovative cockpit electronics solutions that
enhance driver safety and convenience to automakers in China. As a technology-focused company, we are
committed to providing the Chinese market with latest innovative
products across all vehicle segments – from entry to high-end."
Through various interactive exhibits at Auto Shanghai 2017,
Visteon will showcase its expertise in instrument clusters, head-up
displays, information displays, infotainment and connectivity.
Highlights will include:
- Instrument clusters – The latest in large,
high-resolution displays, including 3-D, all-digital, hybrid
digital/analog and cluster-with-camera.
- Information displays – Featured will be a dual OLED
(organic light-emitting diode) display, and dual-view displays that
show different content based on viewing angle – such as navigation
for the driver and video for the passenger.
- Autonomous driving approach – Visteon experts in
artificial intelligence and ADAS will share an innovative
autonomous vehicle program that is in development. Visteon's
approach applies machine-learning technology to accurately detect
and classify objects in a vehicle's path and plan vehicle
movements, leading to fully trained driving control systems.
