LG Electronics (LG) has showcased its latest suite of in-vehicle infotainment and software-defined vehicle solutions, which have earned strong recognition from Google and global auto makers.
A new range of solutions is built on Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and AAOS SDV technologies. While AAOS SDV enables software to define and control core vehicle functions from driving performance and convenience features to safety systems, AAOS serves as the foundation for delivering infotainment experiences to passengers.
“LG’s solution clearly demonstrated how AAOS can enable more flexible, intelligent and engaging in-vehicle experiences,” said Patrick Brady, vice president of Android Automotive at Google. “Its seamless multi-display integration, intuitive voice controls and stable performance powered by a single SoC stood out, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with LG to advance innovation for the SDV era.”
Enabling seamless multi-display experiences
One new solutions enables the simultaneous controlling of multiple in-vehicle displays. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, the system delivers high-resolution visuals and stable performance, enabling a unified experience across navigation, vehicle data, and entertainment.
Unlike conventional in-vehicle display systems, which require a separate control chip for each screen, LG’s AAOS-based solution can simultaneously control multiple displays with different aspect ratios using only a single system-on-chip (SoC). Leveraging LG’s efficient resource allocation technology and system load optimization capabilities, the solution supports auto makers to significantly reduce the cost of deploying multi-display in-cabin systems, LG said.
Delivering personalized and intuitive in-cabin experiences
The new solutions from LG enable each person in the vehicle to view different content at the same time, the company says. For example, the driver can use navigation on the main display while the front-seat passenger watches YouTube and the rear-seat passengers enjoy live TV content on their respective screens. The solution also supports individual user login accounts, personalized settings, content sharing and parental controls, enabling a more customized and flexible in-cabin entertainment experience for every passenger.
LG has also enhanced its voice command-based user interface to provide easier control in large panoramic dashboard environments. With simple spoken commands, users can adjust screen layouts, control key vehicle functions, launch apps and manage system volume.
“We are honored that our technological expertise and commitment to customer experience innovation have been recognized,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “Through continued collaboration with Google and other major global tech partners, LG will continue to deliver differentiated in-vehicle customer experiences.”
