Delphi To Hit CES Armed With Automated Vehicle Demonstrations

Delphi gave a peek Friday into CES plans for an automated vehicle showcasing its "vehicle 2 everything" technology. Among the features to be demonstrated: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) detection that can see all cars in the immediate vicinity, including when an adjacent car abruptly moves into its lane; vehicle-to-pedestrian that leverages a chip in a smartphone, and warns of pedestrians not paying attention to traffic as they use their phone; blind corners, which manages for situations when street angles prevent drivers from seeing opposing traffic; and a ride-sharing feature that notifies designated contacts of the driver’s location so a ride can be requested, said the company. Delphi called the future of “truly automated driving” a “long-term” development but said next year its V2V technology will appear on the 2017 Cadillac CTS’ Super Cruise system. At CES, Delphi will show a touch-free cockpit that uses hidden infrared cameras to track eye movement to detect what a driver sees and infers what action should be carried out by the infotainment system.
