From AI-powered virtual assistants, smart TVs, toothbrushes, and refrigerators to advancements in 5G connectivity, ride-sharing services and self-driving cars, the products and solutions announced in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year may seem like a hodge-podge of innovation at first glance.
But a closer look will reveal how the underlying functions of this year’s latest innovations fit into three broader trends: safety, transformation, and personalization. We took a closer look at these trends and how HARMAN’s own innovations fit within…
Tech that Keeps You Safe
At CES, it was clear that companies are focusing on technologies that will improve the safety of its users and those around them. As one example, consider HARMAN’s enhanced suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that help drivers keep their attention on the road. Including surround-view sensor intelligence, a cabin monitoring system, and LiDAR technologies, this comprehensive platform is ushering in a new era of connectivity-powered vehicle safety.
Cybersecurity also remains top of mind, as today’s connected vehicles continue to integrate advanced third-party solutions while becoming increasingly more complex from a technological standpoint. To help ensure the security of today’s connected car solutions, HARMAN expanded our Remote Vehicle Updating Service, our Over-the-Air (OTA) update offering, to provide automakers with insight into potential vulnerabilities of individual vehicular components.
Solutions that Transform Your Every Day
Connective technology was front and center at CES 2019, evidenced by the several companies displaying products and solutions that heralded the impending arrival of 5G-level connectivity. 5G has the potential to revolutionize the in-vehicle environment, and our driving experiences as a whole with its capability to reduce latency and data-transfer times to near-zero. While there may still be some time before 5G connectivity is fully realized, there are already connected solutions on the market today capable of helping automakers and consumers create better experiences.
With HARMAN Ignite 3.0, the same smart features we rely on in other areas of our lives – like personal virtual assistants – are now available directly in our vehicles. With connected navigation systems and a vehicle-centric marketplace with all your favorite apps, we’re making all of your driving experiences smarter and more personalized. But we’re not just transforming your automotive experience – With HARMAN Personi-Fi, listeners can tailor their listening experiences to perfectly match their preferences, on any device and in every environment.
