The single electronic module, designed as part of a collaboration with Magna, is intended to support multiple in-vehicle entertainment and information systems as well as automated driving at various ASILs (automotive safety integrity levels).
“This scalable solution is ideal for the coming transition towards software-defined vehicles, and for the consolidation of its electrical-electronic architecture,” according to LG, which added: “The integration of functionalities into a single module enables the real-time sharing of data across domains.”
Applications are foreseen handling displays, digital clusters, augmented reality head-up displays (AR-HUD) and visualisation software.
“We are extremely pleased with the progress we have made on this mobility technology,” said LG vehicle component president Eun Seok-hyun. “LG and Magna’s joint efforts will help push the industry forward, facilitating the adoption of technologies that elevate driving safety and the on-road experience.”
Demonstrations at CES will be private and to “major automakers”, said LG.
The LG-Magna collaboration was initiated last year and, according to LG, it has already integrated a cockpit computing system into a single IC as well as produced the ‘LG Magna e-Powertrain’ which combines Magna’s electric power-train knowledge with LG’s power and motor components.
