KARLSRUHE, Germany, Jan. 3, 2017 – 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.
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.
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.
