VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new
connected cockpit concept for vehicles developed by Visteon
Corporation (NYSE: VC), designed to securely connect all aspects of
the car to the driver and Cloud computing, will be featured during
Electronica 2014 in Munich,
Nov. 11-14, at the Visteon booth (343
in Hall A6).
The number of consumers wirelessly connecting their vehicles to
mobile devices and Cloud services is increasing daily, resulting in
the need for improved data security. The OASIS (Optimized.
Adaptable. Secure. Intelligent. Seamless) cockpit is designed to
flawlessly integrate the driver's custom profile to the vehicle
infotainment system in a safe and thorough way. The concept also
tracks the driver's interaction with the vehicle and adapts to his
or her preferences such as apps, preset controls and themes to
deliver a customized driving experience.
During a recent Visteon consumer research clinic, more than 80
percent of the participants indicated a willingness to pay a
premium to have an updatable, secure, Cloud-connected infotainment
system in their next vehicle. OASIS meets this need using a secure
data pipe that automatically switches connection types (modem,
phone tether or Wi-Fi) to maintain uninterrupted service to the
Cloud – giving users optimal performance.
"OASIS protects the vehicle inside and out," said Mark Zeinstra, global connected services at
Visteon. "Visteon secures the in-vehicle network to deliver
seamless connectivity through a single access point allowing
firewall protection and validation of all messages."
The OASIS concept, currently being shown to global vehicle
manufacturers, offers a number of benefits for vehicle users and
automakers. For example, by using a Web portal, the owner can
review his or her driving history and vehicle diagnostics and be
alerted to potential vehicle maintenance needs. Auto manufacturers
can use data analytics to determine how occupants are interacting
with the vehicle controls to improve future iterations of the
human-machine interaction (HMI).
"The Smart Data feature receives keen interest from customers,"
noted Zeinstra. "They immediately begin brainstorming its potential
as they consider the various ways this information can be
used."
