Unveiled at the LeWeb'13 Paris
event in December, Visteon's cockpit demonstrator offers an insight
into ways drivers and passengers can interact with autonomous
driving features for driver delegation.
As Renault's chosen architect and system integrator, Visteon
delivered the cockpit electronics user experience for the
demonstrator. The many connected car functions are demonstrated via
a multi-modal human-machine interface of voice, touch and advanced
displays. The cockpit enables drivers and passengers to seamlessly
continue their "digital lives" in the vehicle by offering access to
features such as video calls while in autonomous driving mode.
"Building on many years of innovation and concept collaboration
with Renault, the cockpit demonstrator showcases Visteon's core
strengths in delivering innovative user experiences," said
Martin T. Thall, president, Visteon
Electronics. "Combining our flexible hardware and open software
solutions, we are able to provide our customers with a powerful
platform for innovation and advanced development projects."
Working within an ecosystem of mainly non-automotive technology
partners, Visteon used agile development methods to deliver the
connected cockpit concept in a very short timeframe. Applying its
proprietary user interface software framework, Visteon was able to
integrate rapidly changing requirements throughout the development
process.
Visteon Electronics, a division of Visteon Corporation, is a
leading supplier of automotive cockpit electronics that delivers
innovative in-vehicle user experiences through solutions in user
interfaces, connectivity and open architectures. Supported by
