HARMAN Launches New Dual-Mode V2X System to Improve Automotive Safety
Summary
However, the availability of both DSRC and C-V2X varies by region and can cause significant guesswork for automakers looking to launch V2X features, such as improved blind spot warnings, adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition. As a result, this technology offers a cost effective solution for automakers by eliminating compliance guesswork while improving road safety and enhancing overall user experience. Launching our Dual-Mode V2X system continues our commitment to offering key solutions that can better meet the demands of automakers looking to seamlessly implement more connected safety features,” said Ram Iyer, Senior Engineering Director for HARMAN’s Telematics Business Unit. “By leveraging our relationship with Samsung for mobile technology, as well as our already potent Telematics Control Unit technology, our offering provides automakers with the true flexibility needed, in order to support both modes without having to have custom solutions for each standard.” HARMAN’s Dual-Mode V2X system will be demoed at TU-Automotive Detroit 2019, booth 2D18, featuring exclusive software and hardware that can operate either with HARMAN’s Telematics Control Units (TCU) or standalone for vehicles that utilize separate TCUs. HARMAN (harman.com) designs and engineers connected products and solutions for automakers, consumers, and enterprises worldwide, including connected car systems, audio and visual products, enterprise automation solutions; and services supporting the Internet of Things.
