The new features announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas include:
• A new platform to drive in-vehicle innovation. Configurable and secure, it will enable the design and integration of new services and provide over-the-air updates, accelerating the time to market for new capabilities.
• The use of a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architecture. This new in-vehicle network offers multi-layered security and comprehensive end-to-end communications to facilitate true sensor integration. It also lays the foundation for adaptive technologies and enables new services requiring high-speed communications by integrating software and hardware layers.
• The design of the first solutions to achieve 1Gbps Ethernet speeds by increasing in-vehicle bandwidth. These solutions will provide greater flexibility, reduce costs, and improve security. By facilitating the adoption of IP and Ethernet services, legacy interfaces and devices will be able to work together with new integrated Ethernet devices and services.
By opting for an open and highly secure platform, Cisco and Hyundai are laying the groundwork for future innovations, including the possibility of integration with Hyundai's data centers, gaining access to real-time data, or connecting vehicles to city infrastructure to "communicate" with traffic lights and parking meters. Cisco and Hyundai aim to create a new generation of platforms and services for vehicles.
