LG is preparing to launch a new versatile platform that integrates advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, and in-car infotainment technologies.
The South Korean company has partnered with global mobile technology company Magna to develop the upcoming mobility platform, which is expected to be available in the near future.
The partnership, which begins in 2023, leverages the combined technical expertise of LG and Magna to enable different in-car user experiences.
The two companies have successfully integrated cockpit computing systems across domains into a single SoC, providing manufacturers with a flexible and cost-effective solution.
A single electronic unit supports the integration of multiple in-car infotainment systems as well as advanced driver assistance systems in automated driving.
This electronic module can effectively meet various automotive safety requirements while using a small number of electronic control units and occupying a small space.
This scalable solution is ideal for the upcoming transition to software-defined vehicles (SDV) and the standardization of electrical and electronic architectures.
Consolidating functionality into a single module makes it possible to share data across domains in real time.
LG's platform leverages advanced in-vehicle displays, digital clusters, augmented reality head-up displays and visualization software through dedicated human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to provide drivers and passengers with new experiences and effortless interactions.
The interface allows operators to monitor the status of controlled processes, change control parameters, and manually override automatic control operations in emergency situations.
The solution can also be customized to meet the manufacturer's requirements for the vehicle's integrated communications, infotainment systems.
According to the company, LG expects the integrated autonomous vehicle platform to be commercialized and deployed in regular vehicles by 2027.
“We are excited about the progress we are making toward the future of mobility,” the company said. “Our joint efforts with Magna are helping to advance the industry and encourage the rapid adoption of important technologies that improve driver safety and the driving experience.” "
