Autonomous driving is generating talk at this year's Detroit Auto Show after being a star at last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The technology has generated plenty of excitement, but still faces myriad questions before it can be widely adopted.

Perfectly staged by the highly symbolic Byton concept, the evolution of automotive dashboards passes through the omnipresence of screens and various interfaces. And from Samsung to Continental, the tech or automotive equipment manufacturers are competing to seduce the manufacturers and equip the cars of tomorrow. Overview of the solutions shown in Las Vegas.

Hundreds of fully autonomous cars have been built and put on roads in various countries around the world, but these vehicles are not for sale to the general public. Rather, carmakers and other companies developing the technology are testing these vehicles at low speeds in restricted areas.

Automobile controls and interfaces are continuing to go digital. While the past few years have seen the digitization of the center stack in cars, particularly in infotainment, there will be increasing digitalization of almost all touch points. A variety of cost effective screen technologies, like OLED and QLED, will bring more information and visualization capabilities to car displays. Despite auto purists complaints about touch controls over real knobs and buttons, the likelihood is that touch will see more prevalence in the years ahead, given advances in haptic feedback and the ability to contextualize controls to combine knobs and dials with digital interfaces.

Valeo are responsible for the first ultrasonic parking sensors back in 1991. They have supplied park assist technology to more than 12 million cars and have sold over 25 million stop/start packages to manufacturers. They are leaders in autonomous vehicle sensor cleaning systems. Apparently, your fancy new self driving car will simply come to a stop if its array of sensors are not squeaky clean. Who knew!

The Robomarts work using NVidia’s Inception program to run their autonomous fleet. Using a combination of sensors and cameras, both inside and outside the car, the vehicle can move from place to place, allowing people to shop without the need of staff or even a cashier. The car itself can be customized to show off its partner company’s branding, while the shelves on the inside come with customizable tags, allowing you to display anything from baked goods, to fast food, to groceries, to even flowers. The car’s interiors stay refrigerated to make sure your food stays fresh.

So Mercedes-Benz brings their Smart Vision EQ Concept to CES, and they shut down part of the Las Vegas Strip for it…if you haven’t seen it already, then you’ll understand why this was completely acceptable. An all-electric, completely autonomous car, built for personalization without actual ownership – the Smart Vision EQ Concept lacks both a steering wheel and pedals.

The advent of the automobile, Hackett explained, ushered in an era when “roads that were built for cars replaced streets intended for living.” Now, as the world progresses toward smarter cities, Ford has committed itself to developing innovative technologies that will give urban spaces back to the people. Working with architects, designers, technologists, and urban planners, Ford is charting a “human-centered course forward.”
“It’s not about the city getting smarter; it’s about humans having a better day,” Hackett said.

No pedals? No steering wheel? No problem. Today automotive superpower, General Motors showcased what their version of the autonomous vehicle may look like in the future. Part of the "Cruise Division," the GM vehicle offers some impressive autonomous features as well as a few twists that have caught the attention of tech enthusiasts across the world.

R&D at Panasonic have decided to ask the question, "what happens when we are no longer driving?" This idea of the level 5 autonomous vehicle has come up time and time again this year at CES. The question is no longer if we will have autonomous vehicles but rather how companies can design experiences around them.

Located in each wheel section, each time the wheels turn, the horizontal-axis turbines are activated. This produces electricity that can then be used to power other features like cabin lighting, entertainment systems, headlights and more. The energy created can also be harnessed and stored in the battery for enhanced range.

Nissan has shown off new technology that enables cars to interpret the brain signals from their drivers. Dubbed Brain-to-Vehicle, or B2V by Nissan, the technology “promises to speed up reaction times for drivers and will lead to cars that keep adapting to make driving more enjoyable.”

The e-Palette Alliance is a new ecosystem for mobility-powered businesses. As Toyota says, “As an emerging provider of mobility hardware and services to business, Toyota is focused on creating new and attractive features for partners that help them to expand their value chain and improve customers’ lives.” Toyota plans to leverage their Mobility Services Platform in order to build an entirely new ecosystem for mobility-powered businesses. However, let’s not forget the complimentary e-Palette concept vehicle that helps the alliance truly come to life.

At the epicenter of all three revolutions, Valeo began preparing for these emerging needs and usage patterns back in 2009, and we have continued to invest massively in R&D. For Valeo, an electric vehicle holds seven times the equipment potential of a present-day conventional car. For an autonomous car, the potential is ten times higher. Valeo is able to sustain very strong growth momentum because of its expertise and innovation capacity.
What does this mean exactly?

CES and electric cars are a natural fit. Big automakers like to show off their commitment to battery and plug-in hybrid technology to help offset the gas-guzzling reality we’re living in. And smaller, Tesla-aspiring startups see it as their opportunity to make a splash in the big kid pool.

Digital assistants had a big year in 2017. Artificially intelligent assistants and smart devices from Amazon, Google, and Apple are entering more and more homes every day. And in 2018, Samsung will release a smart home speaker of its own.
In the not so distant future, however, you won’t have to wait until you get home to talk to your AI friends. Digital assistants are going to be with you on the road and at work.

As world populations and cities grow, people are looking for transportation solutions that make life easier. Solutions which reduce traffic congestion in our cities and respect the air we breathe. Connected vehicles that integrate seamlessly with our devices while improving safety on our roads. Economical choices that give us pleasure and freedom in driving. Through constant innovation and technological developments as well as a reputable aftermarket service, Valeo is committed to developing these solutions and shaping the future of mobility.

Valeo, one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers, today confirmed its investment of 375 million yuan (~50 million euros) in Cathay CarTech Fund – Cathay Capital’s first RMB fund – to take a stake in China’s very dynamic automotive and mobility ecosystem.

Just earlier today, Valeo, the automotive parts giant, announced that it had acquiredgestigon, a startup out of Germany that develops in-car 3D image processing software used both to communicate to the driver as well as pick up signals from within the car and from the driver to communicate to a self-driving (or partially self-driving)car what to do next.
Terms of the deal, which includes staff as well as IP, were not disclosed. Valeo has been a regular investor in autonomous driving tech, taking a stake, for example, in French autonomous shuttle company Navya and getting a license in California to test self-driving cars. This latest acquisition shows that it remains serious about doing more in this area.

At CES 2018, List’s demonstration will feature different objects, such as miniature cars, moving into the camera’s field of view, where DeepManta will recognise them. When a car is identified, the algorithm generates a visual annotation, labelling the car with the logo of the brand and model information, and encompassing it with 2D and 3D boxes to locate it spatially in the video in real time.
The autonomous driving implications of DeepManta will also be demonstrated by Valeo, a global automotive supplier and a partner of List, at the show in Las Vegas.
