Visteon will demonstrate its new enhanced technology lineup
through a range of interactive displays that illustrate its latest
connected cockpit electronics technologies, advanced driver
information and infotainment solutions.
- Fusion connected platform: Visteon's first-to-market
connected infotainment platform integrates driver information,
