LGE gains mileage in smart automotive | Computer Weekly
Summary
In the first part of our look at how LG Electronic’s (LGE’s) corporate pivot to business solutions has been developing since the end of 2023, we examined its acceleration in a number of industries such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) and smart factory. The autumn announcement of the automotive offer’s progress came nine months after the vehicle component solutions arm of the firm used the CES 2024 show to introduce a cross-domain platform integrating advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), automated driving (AD) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) technologies. Working in collaboration with global mobility tech company Magna, LGE says the key would be to deliver “differentiated user experiences” in the vehicle cabin, building on an existing joint venture which encompassed engineering, design and manufacturing. Such developments and collaborations – the bedrock of any offer in the smart vehicle industry as a whole – are seen by LGE as essential in allowing it to respond to market trends and deliver “innovative” solutions to fulfil automotive customers’ evolving needs. This spans the global automotive industry and includes the likes of Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Bently, Porsche, JLR, Jaguar, Land Rover, Renault Group, Citroen, Ford, GM, Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai.
