This is made possible through a projection mode for services and apps via a user\u2019s smartphone, allowing for increased personalization. A greater IoT ecosystem via cloud technology in the entry-level segment, as well as mid\/high-level configurations, not only improves connectivity, but helps lower costs and overall vehicle weight.<\/p>\n<p>In a premium configuration, the Digital Cockpit weaves together a driver\u2019s entire connected lifestyle across the Internet of Things. Through a multi-display layout that leverages HARMAN\u2019s Ignite Platform, the in-car user experience can be personalized for the driver and passenger via services such as virtual personal assistants, portable profiles, augmented reality and more. This also allows for the Android OS to be integrated on four displays \u2013 a first for the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Focused on a future generation of shared mobility, the premium Digital Cockpit personalizes occupant experiences, so drivers and passengers feel like the car is theirs even if they don\u2019t own it. By leveraging the phone as a key service, the system can automatically access subscription services associated with user profiles while Bixby offers intelligent personal assistance to help occupants complete tasks by voice, touch, gesture and context-based triggers.<\/p>\n<p>The Digital Cockpit is scalable and made available for every automotive segment, offering future proof and safety focused features within a developer-friendly open ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>First 5G Automotive Telematics Solution and Customer<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>HARMAN and Samsung are jointly developing modular approaches for advanced telematics, capable of 1 Gb\/s bandwidth. HARMAN and Samsung will deliver the industry\u2019s first 5G-ready automotive solution and multi-band conformal antenna to enable secure, fast and reliable data communications. The solution consists of a telematics control unit with a modular design accommodating a network access device (NAD) supporting LTE CAT 16 connectivity today and 5G in the future leveraging the same hardware design. 5G represents a paradigm shift in the future of mobility. In the automotive sector, 5G delivers safety-enhancing C-V2X capability that is an essential enabler for autonomous transportation. 5G boosts speeds up to 100X faster than current 4G LTE standards to provide incredibly fast high-resolution streaming, immersive virtual and augmented reality features and seamless cloud-based applications in fast-moving cars. Ultra-reliable and with low-latency response times of just 1ms, 5G enables C-V2X and cloud-based compute and storage for the next generation autonomous vehicles. HARMAN today announced that a leading European automaker will be the first customer for this solution. At CES 2018, HARMAN and Samsung will demonstrate high speed connectivity in a future mobility concept vehicle powered by the Samsung Networks 5G infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Advanced Driving Solutions Today for an Autonomous Tomorrow<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Developed in close collaboration with HARMAN, Samsung announced its new<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-reveals-drvline-platform-autonomous-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong> DRVLINE platform<\/strong><\/a>, an open and modular platform for autonomous driving designed to scale from Level 3 automation up to Levels 4 and 5. The two companies will continue to focus on engineering, high-performance computing, sensor technologies, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and cloud and connectivity solutions that are scalable and capable of lower-level autonomy through to Level 5. The first HARMAN\/Samsung-developed ADAS product will be a forward-facing camera featuring lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, collision warning and pedestrian warning algorithms. The new system combines Samsung\u2019s heritage in camera technology with HARMAN\u2019s ADAS 360 solution that blends machine learning and data science with augmented reality to create a self-learning virtual co-passenger to ensure the connected driving experience is personalized and safe.
