Lincoln C Concept - Deluxe interface



Designed with today's upscale, urban consumer in mind, the Lincoln C concept brings the presence and elegance of a large Lincoln to a smaller, more efficient C-sized car.

But the most interesting is than you must see this video, about its interface very nice and intuitive, i don't know if the interface is real, but are good ideas to do, enjoy the video.

Blaupunkt TravelPilot 700 SafeDrive - Voice Dialogue System


They call this “video navigation“.
The unit has a video camera on its back facing the windshield which captures live footage of the road just ahead of you. And then navigation prompts are superimposed on to this video feed. This must be reality view at its best.


Other really innovative features implemented on blaupunkt travel pilot 700 include the ability to recognize traffic signs, voice control, WLAN, DVB-T receiver, live traffic information, and blutooth. We don’t know what kind of hardware is in this device but it better have a fast CPU. All those image and video processing requires a lot of juice.

Delphi develops connected vehicle platform concept



Delphi has developed an Information, Convenience and Protection (ICP) concept vehicle to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated driver interface. The vehicle shows how displays and controls can be designed in an integrated driver interface to help manage the information drivers want and need, and also be presented in harmony with the vehicle design and the driver’s personal preferences.

Data connectivity systems
Delphi data connectivity systems, which include consumer ports, cable assemblies, connection systems, and hubs, allow passengers to access consumer devices such as iPods and flash drives, and to stream and download music files so that they can be enjoyed through the vehicle’s audio system.

High-Speed Digital Data (HSDD) connectivity
Delphi’s HSDD cable assemblies and connectors link the various vehicle data systems to the consumer.

Dual-View Display


Central information displays have typically been used by drivers for navigation information, entertainment, and to adjust vehicle systems, but consumer research shows that passengers would like to use the display to view TV or films and even surf the internet or reply to email.The technology recognizes whether the passenger or driver is using the system controls and enables or disables content appropriately.
