Visteon utilizes the power of artificial intelligence across its operations to transform automotive experiences. In vehicle systems, our AI implementations create more intuitive and responsive cockpit experiences that adapt to driver preferences and behaviors. Advanced algorithms power features like natural language processing for conversational interfaces, driver monitoring systems that enhance safety, and predictive navigation that anticipates destinations based on learned patterns. By embedding AI throughout our digital cockpit solutions, Visteon delivers vehicles that don't just connect with drivers—they understand them, creating a more personalized, seamless, and safe driving experience that continuously improves through machine learning.

Connectivity has become the defining feature of modern automotive experiences, as consumers increasingly expect their vehicles to offer the same digital integration they enjoy elsewhere. Visteon addresses this demand through HTML5 and Android-based infotainment platforms that seamlessly incorporate smartphone integration technologies like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all price points.

Our comprehensive approach extends beyond basic connectivity through AllGo's RACE solution, which delivers advanced smartphone connectivity and multimedia technologies including CarPlay, Android Auto, MirrorLink, and Miracast alongside essential Bluetooth and USB capabilities. Complementing these features, our white-labeled Android app store enables automakers to create branded digital marketplaces for recommending, selling, and distributing applications on their infotainment systems.

As modern vehicles incorporate multiple ECUs running millions of lines of code that control virtually all vehicle operations, cybersecurity has become mission-critical. Visteon implements comprehensive protection through an end-to-end security framework that spans from initial design through manufacturing and extends to in-field updates, ensuring continuous protection as threat landscapes evolve.

Our robust security architecture incorporates hardware security modules, secure boot capabilities, and authenticated application execution to protect critical systems from unauthorized access. This multi-layered approach addresses vulnerabilities across all potential entry points, from internet communications to vehicle data storage. Supporting this foundation, our public key infrastructure authenticates all software running on ECUs, while secure manufacturing systems and one-time programmable fuses establish an unbreakable security chain. For ongoing protection, our two-copy OTA update methodology ensures vehicles maintain the latest security patches without compromising performance, keeping connected technologies both current and protected against emerging threats.

Visteon enhances in-vehicle interaction by prioritizing adaptability in cockpit design. Our approach enables drivers to customize their digital environment through adaptive graphic interfaces that adjust color, content, and complexity without requiring additional asset development. This personalization not only enhances driver satisfaction but provides automakers with valuable consumer preference insights while streamlining mid-cycle adjustments.

Our design expertise addresses the unique challenges of modern cockpit development across product, interaction, and graphic design dimensions. By taking a holistic approach that balances aesthetics, usability, and safety, we create distinctive experiences for everything from autonomous entertainment systems to advanced multimodal interfaces incorporating voice, gesture, and eye-tracking technologies. This comprehensive process begins with collaborative exploration of design themes tailored to each automaker's brand identity, continues through development of optimal solutions leveraging our global capabilities, and culminates in meticulous implementation where visual assets and coded effects bring the experience to life—consistently exceeding customer expectations through careful assessment and refinement.

Visteon's driver monitoring systems address the challenge of ensuring driver readiness through sophisticated infrared camera technology enhanced by artificial intelligence. Our solution tracks key indicators including distraction levels, drowsiness, emotional states, and eye gaze patterns, creating a foundation for improved safety in current vehicles while offering scalable implementation paths as autonomous features evolve to meet regulatory requirements.

Beyond driver monitoring, our comprehensive cabin sensing technologies transform vehicle interiors into intelligent environments through advanced sensor fusion and deep learning algorithms. By combining thermal data with computer vision, Visteon delivers systems capable of occupant identification, health monitoring, activity tracking, emotional assessment, and detection of children or objects left behind. This holistic approach to interior sensing supports both traditional and emerging mobility models, enhancing safety across semi-autonomous and fully autonomous driving scenarios.
