Digital Cockpit
LG Vehicle Infotainment LG Electronics introduced a new in-vehicle infotainment concept tailored to autonomous vehicles at CES 2022, indicating that its car cabins can turn into a space where passengers work, watch TV, exercise or experience camping virtually. Called LG Omnipod, the new mobility concept solution gives a glimpse of an on-the-road extension of one’s personal living space which is designed to function as a home office, entertainment center or lounge, LG Electronics said in a statement. The concept was developed solely by LG, without forging a partnership with an automaker. The concept also shows that the in-car infotainment systems can be controlled via smartphone or voice command through the LG ThinQ app, a smart home solution service. This compatibility blurs the distinction between home and car, LG Electronics added. The in-vehicle concept comes a year after LG Electronics teamed up with Hyundai Motor Group to unveil the Ioniq Concept Cabin, mounted on Hyundai‘s Ioniq 5 electric vehicles. The Ioniq Concept Cabin was meant to optimize customers’ in-vehicle experience. It had home appliances with 77-inch flexible organic light emitting diode screens and indoor care solutions such as shoe butlers, ultraviolet lights and cleaning robots to keep the cabin disinfected.
