Panasonic has delivered its in-vehicle infotainment equipment to
major global automakers for more than 65 years. Recently, there
have been growing expectations for further evolution of such
systems as vehicles undergo a paradigm shift towards a future with
autonomous and electric vehicles. Infotainment systems are expected
to play a more significant role than ever before in improving
vehicle safety and comfort.
Panasonic will contribute to the evolution of the advanced
driver assistance system (ADAS) by combining Panasonic Group's
extensive consumer electronics technologies with in-vehicle
technologies refined in the course of developing infotainment
equipment.
[Smart Design Cockpit] (for ADAS Level 2/partial automated
driving)
This system coordinates four multi-displays and enables each
operator (driver or passenger), to select the content to be
displayed on each screen. The gesture control function enables
stress-free operation by accurately recognizing hand motions. The
interior is made from resin-based special materials that provide
the luxurious texture of wood, metal, and leather in
particular.
• HMI Graphics Engine: This high-performance graphics engine
controls four displays at the same time and efficiently presents
information necessary for both the driver and passenger.
• Gesture Recognition: This gesture control function is able to
recognize the motion of the palm and fingers without requiring the
operator to touch the display, and steers content switching on the
display. The dial volume control achieves excellent
operability.
• Smart Material: These next-generation design materials have
been developed using Panasonic's proprietary Film-in-Molding
technology. This resin material is used to reproduce the real
texture of wood, metal, and leather in particular. The backlit
Smart Material can change colors to alert the driver, and can also
be used as interior lighting to change the atmosphere of the
cabin.
[Smart Vision Cockpit] (for ADAS Level 3/conditional
automated driving)
The cockpit system enables its passengers a new exciting
mobility experience while driving even in the automated driving
mode, while enjoying a panoramic view. Both the driving mode and
automated driving mode are selectable. An ultra-wide display,
large-screen HUD, and driver monitoring system are used to ensure
safety and enhance the joy of driving.
• Monitoring System: When the engine starts, both the status of
the vehicle and health condition of the driver, are detected and
displayed on the large-screen HUD.
• Panoramic Display: The display shows images from the rear-view
and side-view cameras during driving to eliminate blind spots and
assist in safe driving. The automated driving mode enables the
driver to enjoy a 360° panoramic view projected on the display. The
driver can readily check on children in the rear seat by changing
the display mode.
• Drive Guide: When the driver changes the direction of sight,
while looking at the outside views, the gaze detection system
(driver monitoring system) automatically presents local sightseeing
information on the large-screen HUD. If the driver finds a location
to stop on the way, the route can be changed simply by tapping the
navigation screen on the center display.
[Living Space Autonomous Cabin] (for ADAS Level 5/full
automated driving)
The cabin concept is designed for a future vision of autonomous
driving by combining solutions and expertise for a better life,
that have been refined by Panasonic living space and automotive
systems technologies.A luxurious, modern, and high quality living
space is created inside the vehicle. Panasonic proposes this
next-generation cabin space in four styles: "Living Room,"
"Business," "Relax," and "Entertainment."
• Living Room Style: The comfort of the cabin space is
equivalent to that of a home living room by providing a digital
sunshade, seats and a cabin air conditioner equipped with an air
quality controller, living room lighting, and an agent function
achieved by AI and cloud connectivity.
• Business Style: A business space is created by swiveling the
seat to help increase concentration. The cabin space also features
an L-shaped display with a retractable storage function and
videoconference system, among other devices.
• Relax Style: In this brand new sound space which features a
multichannel surround system with 22 speakers, occupants can feel
the sensation of music coming from all directions. A relaxing cabin
space is created using images (side displays: 55 inches × 2,
ceiling display: 77 inches), lighting, air conditioning, air
quality improvement, and aromas.
• Entertainment Style: A cheerful and vibrant cabin space
created by exciting music, images, lighting, and aromas.
At CES 2018, "Smart Design Cockpit" and "Smart Vision Cockpit"
were exhibited in the Solutions Area, and "Living Space Autonomous
Cabin" was exhibited in the Vision Area.
