Visteon collaborates with Tencent to launch SmartCore domain controller on new Aion LX electric vehicle platform from GAC - Seite 2

As the industry’s first mass-produced smart cockpit domain controller, Visteon’s SmartCore not only demonstrates Visteon’s strong integration ability as the industry’s cockpit electronics leader, but also marks a new era of mass-produced smart cockpits.

GAC’s Qiujing said: “GAC is committed to being a mobility life value creator. The ADiGO in-car intelligence ecosystem developed by GAC – which combines Visteon’s SmartCore with Tencent’s TAI system – will bring an excellent experience to drivers and passengers. The cooperation with Visteon, Tencent and Qualcomm Technologies supports GAC’s ‘integration innovation’ strategy and is a great effort to improve future mobility life.”

Zhong of Tencent said: “To address the trend of the intelligent vehicle, and with autonomous driving as a key focus of the industry, Tencent is pleased to cooperate with Visteon and GAC. After one year of this cooperative effort, we have seen satisfying results. We want to continue to bring the ‘eco-intelligent internet of vehicle’ to the products and services of our three parties, to make travel more consumer-friendly and smart.”

On the Aion LX, SmartCore incorporates Tencent’s TAI solutions to enable user interaction and control based on voice recognition, offering users a compelling new digital experience. The system leverages the third-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platform to provide powerful computing and AI capabilities for the next-generation cockpit system, with high-performance CPU and GPU cores, support for six to eight display screens, power intelligent voice interaction, augmented reality and image processing.

“As the vehicle cockpit becomes increasingly complex with rich infotainment and driver assistance features, the complexity of processing hardware behind these systems needs to be reduced to minimize cost and energy consumption while maximizing system performance,” said Shyam Krishnamurthy, senior director, product management, at Qualcomm Technologies. “Qualcomm Technologies looks forward to continuing our working relationship with Visteon to address complex mobility challenges as we dive deeper into the realm of electrified transportation.”

In the future, Visteon and GAC R&D will continue to cooperate to promote the development of intelligent technologies related to the digital cockpit, centralized computing and automated driving.

Visteon’s exhibit at CES is located in Central Plaza, Pavilion 13.
