Samsung Electronics is speeding up the automotive electronics (electronic equipment) business with its subsidiary Harman.
Harman International held an online media event on the 7th (U.S. local time) and unveiled’Digital Cockpit (in-vehicle multi-display) 2021′ (photo). The digital cockpit is a product that consists of a digital electronic device that controls vehicle functions in the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat. Harman is a subsidiary related to automotive electronics that Samsung Electronics acquired for $8 billion in 2016. The digital cockpit, jointly developed by Samsung Electronics and Harman, was first introduced at the world’s largest consumer electronics exhibition’CES’ in January 2018.
Digital Cockpit 2021, introduced on this day, is characterized by reinforcing the infotainment system to upgrade the car into a’third living space’. In the front, a 49-inch QLED display and a sound system, which is Harman’s strength, were installed to improve entertainment functions. Video conferencing is also possible by using the central display of the rear seats.
A’studio mode’ that can be used as a creative studio has also been added. Pictures and videos of passengers can be taken with the camera at the top of the seat and edited in the vehicle. With the 55-inch QLED display mounted on the rear of the car, you can enjoy video content even during outdoor activities such as camping.
The digital cockpit 2021 also features Samsung Health Service. It uses cameras and wearables and mobile devices to periodically check the driver’s health and monitor physical condition in real time. If a notification is needed by grasping the movement of the eyelids, it induces indoor ventilation and delivers a warning message. To prevent drowsiness.
The four front and rear cameras of the vehicle and deep learning technology provide signals to the driver by recognizing the surroundings in real time when moving or parking through the ‘360 Vision Monitoring System’ that can look at all angles. A display in front of the vehicle can send a notification message to pedestrians outside, and an optional notification can be delivered only to specific pedestrians through a directional speaker.
Samsung Electronics and Harman also improved TCU (vehicle communication equipment) technology that applied 5G (5G) technology for the first time in the world last year. For fast communication with nearby vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure, ‘5G ultra-high frequency’, which has low latency and can accommodate large amounts of information at once, was applied to vehicles for the first time in the industry. An official from Samsung Electronics explained, “In addition to autonomous driving, it will be possible to implement various services such as cluster driving in which one driver leads multiple vehicles, and remote control driving that remotely moves an unmanned autonomous vehicle.”
