Visteon Launches Connected Car Technologies at 2014 International CES
Global automotive supplier premieres advanced
electronics concepts and industry collaborations, and unveils new
brands, at Las Vegas Convention Center Jan. 7-10
Visteon Corporation (NYSE: VC) will present its latest
automotive cockpit electronics products and innovations at the 2014
International CES, including several new concepts offering advanced
connected car features and Cloud-based technology for upcoming vehicle
platforms.
Visteon's automotive concepts explore future consumer electronics
technologies to safely deliver a wider choice of information and
applications to drivers and passengers through intuitive interfaces and
new infotainment and connected car features, designed to deliver
industry-leading performance.
Visteon also will unveil two new automotive brands – one for
connected audio and infotainment, and one for instrumentation – at its
display in Central Plaza #20.
"Visteon heads into our 15th year at CES as one of the
first automotive electronics suppliers actively developing viable
solutions for the rapidly converging worlds of consumer electronics and
automotive technology," said Timothy D. Leuliette,
Visteon president and CEO. "The advanced concepts launched at this
year's show set the path for Visteon Electronics to further strengthen
its position as one of the world's leading automotive electronics
suppliers, positioned at the intersection of consumer electronics and
the connected vehicle."
Presented for the first time at CES, Visteon's HMeye cockpit concept
features a unique user interface controlled by eye gaze and head
direction data, coupled with image attribute tracking. Selection
controls are retained on the steering wheel to improve response time
while allowing the driver to focus on the road ahead.
Visteon's Horizon Cockpit introduces a new application of emerging
disruptive technologies using gesture recognition to operate various
controls. An advanced camera system tracks and mirrors the driver's
gestures by mapping movement through a full kinematic spatial hand
which, in turn, replicates the motion as a virtual hand on the cockpit's
display.
Also making its debut at the show, Visteon's OASIS concept – an
acronym for optimized, adaptable, secure, intelligent and seamless
connectivity – protects the vehicle communication network by providing a
secure method to connect the vehicle to the user and Cloud computing.
"As the ecosystem of consumer and automotive electronics merge,
strategic collaborations are becoming essential to bringing innovative
products to market quickly," said Marty Thall,
president, Visteon Electronics. "Visteon works closely with a wide and
diverse range of technology leaders and vehicle manufactures to deliver
the next generation of connected car technologies."
An example of such a partnership is demonstrated by Visteon's new
connected cockpit electronics solution developed in collaboration with
Renault. Unveiled at the LeWeb'13 Paris
event in December, Visteon's cockpit demonstrator offers insight into
ways drivers and passengers can interact with autonomous features at low
speeds.
Visteon's presence at CES extends beyond its exhibit. Tim Yerdon, global director, innovation and design, is among the "gurus of car tech" participating in the CES panel discussion, "Just around the bend: How technology will change driving," from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Jan. 8
at LVCC, North Hall N259. Yerdon will discuss the influence of
connected car features and Cloud-based technologies on the future
driving experience.
