CES provides a broad venue for suppliers to lay out their visions of what they’lllook like moving forward. Here are a few of the displays the DVN team will be visiting later this week:
Magna will show off their latest innovations in driver assistance and electrification technology. Magna’s CES booth will include the first public display of their “morphing surfaces” technology. The system, which will be displayed on the front of a vehicle, is said to be able to “change the exterior shape of a vehicle and adapt to improve efficiency and functionality”.
Hyundai Mobis will have their largest-ever CES display, with concept vehicles that embody the supplier’s vision for the future. The M.Vision TO vehicle shown here features an autonomous driving system comprising cameras; radar, and lidar, as well as seats that can be folded and rotated to take advantage of the absence of a driver. Hyundai’s M.Vision HI is designed to signal how future cars can be used for “leisure, relaxation and outdoor activities,” including by using the glass on the vehicle as a movie screen. The supplier will also show off 19 other technologies, including an LED grille lighting system.
Forvia will showcase 16 products related to electrification, automated driving and digital cockpit solutions, including their CES Innovation Award-winning SSL | HD headlamp system, which provides better illumination on the road while reducing the amount of space required for installation by up to 75 per cent. Hella management board member Yves Andres says his company “are driven by the ambition to keep pushing the boundaries of what is feasible in automotive lighting technology and thus ensure greater safety, efficiency and comfort in road traffic”.
Marelli will use CES to showcase their Diorama Display technology, among other new products. According to Marelli, the head-up display “provides high-quality reflections on the bottom edge of the windshield” and “clear visibility and readability” for navigation indications or hazard warnings, with a much larger viewing angle than a typical head-up display, and can use the windshield to display information for passengers as well as the driver.
