KARLSRUHE, Germany, Jan. 3,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC), a
leading cockpit electronics supplier, has secured a second major
customer vehicle program for its industry-leading cockpit domain
controller technology, SmartCore™. Visteon is the only supplier
offering an automotive-grade, integrated domain controller approach
that can independently operate the infotainment system, instrument
cluster and potentially other features on one System on Chip
(SoC).
Visteon is scheduled to launch the first SmartCore™-based
solution in 2018, for a European vehicle manufacturer. This second
SmartCore™ business win, also with a European automaker, offers
instrument cluster and infotainment features and expands the
platform to high-end applications with industry-first 3-D display
and augmented reality head-up display capabilities.
"This second major business win further validates SmartCore™ as
a viable solution to manage the increasing cost and complexity of
in-vehicle electronics," said Sachin
Lawande, Visteon president and CEO. "Visteon is
well-positioned to lead the consolidation of electronic control
units in the cockpit space, and we are in active dialogue with
several automakers to adopt this technology into their
vehicles."
The SmartCore™ architecture is fully scalable and cyber-secured
through virtualization of the different cores and controlled
firewalls. This enables independent functional domains with
different levels of ASIL requirements – initially driver
information and infotainment – while future domains can be added to
operate separately and securely.
"For the automaker, SmartCore™ offers a cost-effective,
space-saving cockpit electronics solution that is fully scalable
and can be updated over-the-air," Lawande continued. "Drivers and
passengers will benefit from an enhanced instrument cluster and
infotainment experience, boosted by a single seamless human machine
interface, offering access to multiple levels of information."
SmartCore™ is designed to integrate infotainment, instrument
clusters, information displays, head-up displays, advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS) and connectivity – providing a foundation
for the evolution to autonomous driving.
