VIA optronics and Antolin have debuted the Sunrise vehicle cockpit concept, which has been designed for “seamless transitions between manual and autonomous driving modes”, the companies say.
The cockpit concept is the product of a strategic collaboration between the companies that looks to leverage their “combined expertise and capabilities to design, develop and produce innovative integrated display systems for vehicle interiors including cockpits, floor consoles, door panels, overhead systems, and seat headrests”.
The key features of the Sunrise concept include a sleek and minimalist design, integrated displays and smart surfaces, on-demand technologies for enhanced user experience, immersive ambient lighting, and an improved safety profile to minimize driver distractions.
The Sunrise cockpit also incorporates environmentally friendly materials, which VIA and Antolin say aligns with their commitment to” sustainable practices and responsible manufacturing”.
Roland Chochoiek, CEO of VIA, said, “We are very proud of the outstanding results of our collaboration with Antolin. It was a pleasure to see the development of the demonstrator, beginning from idea to concept, and now we are pleased to demonstrate a new system which shows very impressive advanced integrated technology.”
Jorge Juárez, executive vice president of technology solutions at Antolin, added, “We are excited to launch the Sunrise vehicle cockpit concept in partnership with VIA and believe the outcome of our collaboration reflects strongly on the future of both of our organizations. User Experience takes center stage in the design of every new vehicle cabin, and Antolin is ready to deliver excellence in this regard. With our extensive portfolio of integrated solutions, we are poised to meet the evolving demands of OEMs worldwide.”
The concept was launched at an event in Nuremberg, Germany, centered around the Embedded World exhibition, and will also be showcased at the upcoming Display Week event in San Jose, California, on May 14 to 17
