Contactless biometric sensing. A tidal
wave of software code and sensing
technologies are being prepped to alter
in-vehicle activities.
Two supplier companies, TomTom
and Mitsubishi Electric Automotive
America (MEAA), recently presented
their concept cockpit demonstrators to
media at TomTom's North American
corporate offices in Farmington Hills,
Michigan. A few highlights:
TomTom's new Orbis map platform,
which relies on open and proprietary data
sources, its production-ready Premium
Map Renderer, and the gaming engine
Unity are the foundation for enhanced
navigation maps. Roads, buildings and
landscape attributes assume a 3D appearance,
making the visuals similar to an immersive
gaming product experience,
TomTom's senior customer solution manager,
Anton van Breemen, told SAE Media.
The driving experience during multilane
highway travel requires abundant
information about other vehicles and
the surroundings. TomTom's map technology
leverages data from various
sources, including Mitsubishi Electric's
High-Definition Locator, with precision
accuracy of plus-or-minus 25 cm (9.8
in) to provide a comprehensive context
of the driving scenario.
Anton van Breemen stands next to TomTom's digital cockpit demonstrator. TomTom's first
production application of its digital cockpit is with an American-based EV manufacturer. " You can
go into one domain - phone, messaging, media, marketplace, navigation - make a change and that
change is immediately applied to the other domains, " Breeman said.
" With lane-level navigation, we can
show your vehicle on the map and color
the specific lane to be in for a highway
exit, or to avoid road construction, or to
avoid a traffic accident, or to get the
best traffic flow, " van Breemen said.
AI-powered conversation is also feaMEAA's
FlexConnect is an advanced cockpit with a focus on in-cabin and exterior sensing
technologies that can be used for autonomous vehicles.

tured. Using Microsoft's GenAI engine
and large language models, TomTom's
demonstrator enables talk between the
vehicle driver and an AI-powered counterpart.
During a demonstration, van
Breemen asked where in-vehicle USB
ports are located. An AI voice provided
the number and exact location of a specific
vehicle model's outlets.
