Visteon Delivers Connected, Electrified Driving Experiences to CES 2022
17 December 2021 - 3:11AM
Visteon (NASDAQ: VC), a global technology company serving the
mobility industry, will showcase a range of technology solutions
that support the digital, electric and connected evolution of its
automotive customers at CES® 2022.
“Visteon technology solutions are changing the way people
connect with the world through their vehicles each and every day,”
said Visteon President and CEO Sachin Lawande. “We will bring our
passion for innovation to CES 2022 and demonstrate how our
technologies can support and enable the connected and electric
evolution of the mobility industry.”
Visteon will use a variety of working display properties to show
CES attendees how the company’s technologies support these key
mobility industry trends:
- Electrification technologies that
support the global growth of electric vehicles (EVs) which by 2030
are expected to represent about a fourth of the total market.
- Advanced display solutions enabling
the evolution toward a digital cockpit with larger and more
immersive reconfigurable surfaces. As mass-market vehicles start to
offer 12-inch or larger displays, premium and luxury automakers are
differentiating their cockpits through craftsmanship, style, luxury
of materials, perceived quality and functionality.
- Connected car solutions to help auto
manufacturers integrate over-the-air software updates and
Android-based infotainment for their next-generation cockpits --
offering consumers a choice of connected services has become a
critical requirement for new vehicles.
Electrification
The highlight of Visteon’s electrification story is its
industry-first smart wireless battery management system (BMS). This
disruptive technology is the first completely wireless BMS to
monitor battery packs continuously for state of health and
charge.
Through this system, Visteon has been able to remove the need
for a wiring harness, making the system customizable and scalable
while reducing overall vehicle weight.
GM was the first OEM to equip its electric vehicles (EVs) with
this solution from Visteon, making the system standard on all
planned EV models powered by its Ultium batteries. A second
automotive customer was recently added to the company’s wireless
BMS business, and additional discussions are underway with other
OEMs.
Visteon will also demonstrate electrification technology beyond
its wired and wireless BMS capability. This includes integrated
power electronics components – a new smart junction box, DC/DC
converter and on-board charger – that were designed to reduce the
complexity of EV architecture through a single package design.
Advanced Display Technologies
Visteon is the leader in bringing advanced display technologies
that deliver high perceptual quality to an automaker’s cockpit.
Among the in-house developed display technologies featured at CES
are:
- TrueColor™ image enhancement
provides optimal visibility of HMI for all ambient light
conditions, thereby improving legibility and safety.
- Active privacy technology that
extends the digital cockpit experience to the passenger, preventing
driver distraction via automatic activation of a switchable viewing
angle.
- Full array local dimming that
improves contrast ratio at a more affordable price than premium
solutions along with substantially lower power
consumption.
- AI-powered low light enhancement to
improve the image quality of camera feeds at dusk and at
night.
- MicroZone™, a first-of-its-kind
display solution to address the industry demand for a high-quality
display that delivers a premium experience, while meeting stringent
automotive environmental reliability requirements.
- A unique avatar display concept
based on in-house design digital holography to serve as a virtual
assistant and improve safety by reducing driver distraction.
All of these advanced display technologies employ power
consumption significantly lower than any other automotive display
technology currently available to help support the growth of the EV
market.
The Connected Car
Along with the shift to larger displays, car manufacturers are
quickly adopting over-the-air software updates and Android-based
infotainment for their next-generation cockpits. Visteon’s
SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller solution, launched as an
industry first in Europe with Daimler in 2018, uses advanced
silicon and software technologies to enable OEMs to offer these
kinds of advanced user experiences in the cockpit.
Visteon brings its fourth generation SmartCore™ powered by
Samsung Exynos Auto v9 to CES 2022. The latest SmartCore™ solution
offers seamless support of multiple displays and AI-based speech
recognition.
It also brings state-of-the-art safety and security technology
and ADAS features to create advanced in-vehicle entertainment
experiences along with reliable instrument cluster and infotainment
integration. Over-the-air update capability keeps software-enabled
features running smooth and the cockpit experience new and
fresh.
The AllGo App Store Powered by Visteon
The company’s infotainment capability will also demonstrate the
Android-based AllGo App Store powered by Visteon to deliver a
portfolio of apps useful for automakers and their customers.
Currently, most infotainment systems have a limited variety of apps
that can be brought in from a phone – with usability constricted by
small displays, disabled functionalities, and poor scaling of
screen projection.
Visteon’s approach takes what smartphone developers have
achieved to the next level for automotive by boosting the
convenience and level of choice that smartphones add to the driving
experience and minimizing the risks they bring to everyday driving
scenarios.
The AllGo App Store powered by Visteon offers native
applications as well as the ability to download the most popular
mobility apps. This solution provides the opportunity for
developers to create new and OEM-proprietary applications that add
value, while meeting consumer demand for an experience rivaling
smartphone and other connected devices.
