LG Electronics (LG) held a private demonstration for major automakers at CES 2024, introducing a new cross domain platform integrating Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), Automated Driving (AD) and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) technologies. Developed by LG in collaboration with Magna, a global mobility tech company, the game-changing future mobility platform is expected to arrive on the market in the near future.
Initiated in 2023, the collaboration leverages the combined technological prowess of LG and Magna, to help deliver differentiated user experiences in the vehicle cabin. The two companies have successfully integrated a cross domain cockpit computing system into a single System on Chip (SoC) representing a flexible and cost-effective solution for OEMs.
The single electronic module supports multiple IVI systems and ADAS/AD domain integration, and can efficiently handle various Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) requirements while using fewer electronic control units and taking up less packaging space. This scalable solution is ideal for the coming transition towards the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) and for the consolidation of its electrical/electronic architecture. The integration of functionalities into a single module enables the real-time sharing of rich data across domains.
Via a dedicated Human Machine Interface (HMI), LG’s platform can provide drivers and passengers with compelling, new experiences – and more intuitive interactions – when using advanced automotive displays, digital clusters, Augmented Reality-Head Up Displays (AR-HUD) and visualization software. Additionally, the solution can be customized to meet any OEM’s integrated communications and IVI system needs. 2027 model year vehicles are expected be the first to benefit from this advanced technology.
“We are extremely pleased with the progress we have made on this future mobility technology,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle component Solutions Company. “LG and Magna’s joint efforts will help push the industry forward, facilitating the rapid adoption of crucial technologies that elevate driving safety and the on-road experience.”
Another successful collaboration between the two companies, LG Magna e-Powertrain unites Magna’s expertise in electric powertrain systems with LG’s capabilities in component development for e-motors, inverters and on-board chargers. Announced in 2021, the joint venture, which encompasses engineering, design and manufacturing, enables LG and Magna to proactively respond to market trends and deliver innovative solutions to fulfill customers’ evolving needs.

BMW has made a groundbreaking leap in the field of autonomous driving by becoming the first car manufacturer to receive approval for integrating both Level 2 and Level 3 driving assistance systems in a single vehicle. The new BMW 7 Series marks this significant milestone, offering drivers an unparalleled blend of advanced technologies designed to enhance comfort and safety on the road.
In the evolving landscape of automotive technology, the race towards fully autonomous vehicles has been both tantalizing and contentious. Recent findings published in Nature Communications have sparked a fresh wave of debate, suggesting that human drivers outperform automated systems in crucial scenarios, particularly during twilight and at intersections.
Apple enthusiasts and car tech aficionados alike have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next-generation Apple CarPlay, previewed by Apple back in 2022. The wait is nearly over as Apple has indicated that this enhanced system will drop later this year, though a specific timeframe has yet to be announced. The recent Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) provided an in-depth look at the updates, and the overarching theme can be summed up in one word: customization.
