Visteon Showcases Smart, Learning Digital Cockpit of the Future
January 07 2019 - 8:00AM
Visteon Corporation (Nasdaq: VC), a leading global supplier of
automotive cockpit solutions, will offer a glimpse into the smart,
learning digital cockpit of the future at CES 2019.
Visteon will showcase advanced technologies that will power the
in-vehicle user experience of the automotive cockpit in the
emerging era of more automated driving. Visteon’s integrated
solutions are aimed at improving safety on the road while enabling
seamless access to information – from personal devices, the vehicle
and the cloud – using the latest innovations in technology.
Key highlights of this new cockpit electronics architecture
include:
- A high-powered cockpit domain controller that integrates the
instrument cluster, infotainment and other cockpit functions into a
single ECU with advanced graphics, over-the-air software updates,
and state-of-the-art cybersecurity
- Large high-resolution displays that are curved and
non-rectangular to deliver an enhanced viewing experience without
limiting interior panel design
- A scalable autonomous domain controller for Level 2 and higher
automated driving that is integrated with the cockpit domain
controller for seamless interaction with the driver.
- A machine learning-based voice recognition and text-to-speech
solution for a natural language, conversational smart
assistant
- In-cabin driver and other occupant detection and identification
technology, also based on machine learning for improved safety
functionality
“The shift toward electric cars and improved automated driving
technology is an opportunity to rethink the cockpit in terms of how
drivers and passengers interact with the vehicle and their
surroundings,” said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “As
vehicles become more automated, there is a need for fresh
approaches to the human-machine interface in the cockpit – to
ensure control can shift safely and seamlessly between the driver
and the vehicle, and to keep occupants informed, engaged and
entertained.
“In the era of increased automated driving, the cockpit will
become a smart, learning, mobile assistant,” Lawande continued.
“Visteon’s industry-leading digital cockpit solutions offer
automakers a complete suite of technologies to upgrade the user
experience of their vehicles.”
At CES, Visteon will demonstrate the integration between the
SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller and the scalable DriveCore™
autonomous driving controller, which combine to create a seamless
HMI between the driver and the vehicle. This interface manages the
experience of drivers and passengers as the vehicle seamlessly
takes control from the driver or gives it back.
“In addition to developing self-driving technology, Visteon has
been focused on improving the experience of the driver and
passengers in the increasingly more automated cars of the future,”
Lawande said. “As cars take over the driving function, it is
important for the occupants to understand and trust the vehicle’s
actions, and for the vehicle to sense its surroundings and the
driver’s readiness to resume control. We are focused on delivering
a comprehensive, flexible and scalable digital cockpit solution for
Level 3 and higher applications.”
High-resolution digital displays that are not just flat and
rectangular are critical for the all-digital cockpits of the
future. As displays get larger, the flat and rectangular-shaped
display does not allow for the best viewing experience, or for the
industrial design of the interior. Visteon will show an array of
digital displays based on LCD and OLED technologies, including some
with curved and non-rectangular shapes. The company will also
demonstrate its new VX display solution that offers integrated
haptic feedback, proximity sensing and knob-on-glass features.
Machine learning has emerged as a key new technology for solving
problems – such as voice and image recognition – that have proven
to be very difficult for conventional programming techniques.
Visteon will demonstrate an in-vehicle conversational smart
assistant using machine learning for voice recognition. The Visteon
“say ‘n serve” smart assistant solution is designed to use natural
language processing for onboard or offboard commands in cars
without always needing cloud connectivity. In addition, Visteon
will demonstrate a driver monitoring solution that also uses
machine learning technology. The Visteon “see ‘n sense” in-cabin
monitoring solution offers head-pose detection, gaze detection and
identification capabilities that are key for enhanced safety.
Visteon will also showcase the industry’s first V2X module that
works with either Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) or
cellular networks. This gives automakers the flexibility to offer
support for either wireless technology, depending on the needs of
the market.
CES 2019 will mark Visteon’s 20th year as an exhibitor, which
ranks the company among the longest-running show participants in
the automotive industry. For those attending CES, Visteon can be
found in Central Plaza Pavilion 13.
