Overview

Digital Cockpits Are Changing the Way We Interact with Vehicles

Today’s digital cockpits are much more than an infotainment system; multiple fully configurable, large touch screens provide a human interface to a variety of features like navigation, entertainment, communication, display, 3D instrument cluster, and ADAS functions. They also facilitate over-the-air (OTA) software updates, which allow the customer to purchase new features as they become available during the lifecycle of the car. Hence the integrated digital cockpit greatly defines the overall user experience of the car.
