Visteon showcases cockpit electronics technology to support electric vehicles at EVS31 in Japan

YOKOHAMA, Japan., Sept. 30, 2018 – Visteon Corporation (Nasdaq: VC), a leading cockpit electronics supplier, is displaying products that will help support the industry shift toward electric vehicles at the International Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS31) from Oct. 1-3, in Kobe, Japan.

EVs are a catalyst for rethinking a vehicle’s electrical architecture and upgrading the cockpit to fully digital. Visteon is well-positioned for this shift, with a technology portfolio including all-digital instrument clusters, connected infotainment, and the industry-first SmartCore™ cockpit domain controller, which consolidates electronic control units (ECUs) and helps reduce weight and power consumption.

At EVS31, Visteon will display products including:

  • A 4K instrument cluster with integrated driver monitoring infrared cameras for facial recognition and head and eye-gaze tracking, which will be important to assessing driver readiness to resume control of an automated vehicle.
  • A DriveCore™ autonomous driving platform, which will provide automakers a fail-safe domain controller, with a high degree of computing power scalability, which supports the integration of data from multiple camera, Lidar and radar sensors. DriveCore™ is the first open platform in the industry that offers highly scalable computing power and software to perform late sensor fusion to enable rapid development of autonomous systems for Level 3 and above.
  • A low-cost, standalone V2X (vehicle-to-everything) module.
  • A SmartCore™ domain controller, launched with a European-based automaker in early 2018, which enables the integration of the instrument cluster, infotainment system and other features in a single ECU.

Visteon is exhibiting at Booth #153 in Hall 1 of the Kobe Convention Center. The Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition is one of the largest international exhibitions in the field of EVs.
