Integrated Cockpit
Integrated Cockpit
Due to the convergence of in-vehicle and consumer communications technologies, the need for connected infotainment in vehicles is growing at a rapid pace. This is coupled with inflated customer expectations and constant innovation in the personal electronics industry which is making automakers race to launch the best possible connected infotainment platforms to attract buyers. Additionally, multimodal IVI system interactions (touch, voice, gestures, etc.), the need for IVI personal assistants like Alexa and Google, proliferation of ECUs, and the exponential increase in complexity of cockpit design in passenger cars will pose challenges in the near future.
For 13+ years, Sasken has played a pivotal role in developing Linux, AGL & Android based IVI Systems for multiple Tier-1s and OEMs. Sasken leads the Automotive Linux and Android space due to its unmatched experience with Android frameworks gained through technology focused production programs, proof of concept projects, and the company’s close association with leading silicon partners, Linux Foundation, and Google in the automotive domain.
