"Denso and Qualcomm Technologies are developing an architecture for systems based on Denso’s Harmony Core integrated cockpit system. It coordinates with cloud services and new Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), enabling enhanced car connectivity and advanced safety features like driver status monitoring, driver and passenger authentication, and improved display operability.
With the information provided by a vehicle to the driver increasing, thanks to advanced driver assistance functions using cameras, sensors and the various infotainment functions, vehicle-driver communication and HMI play a key role in providing updates. To enhance this critical information exchange, Denso aims to develop next-generation integrated cockpit systems by harnessing Qualcomm’s information and communication technologies. Innovations include applying the latest in semiconductors and software solutions developed for smartphones and Denso’s expertise in in-vehicle requirements, functional safety, quality, and security technologies for HMI products. There will be more to come." – Vinay Piparsania
