LG Electronics, in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, is set to debut the innovative Cross Domain Controller (xDC) platform for vehicles at CES 2025. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride Flex System-on-Chip (SoC), the xDC platform combines LG’s state-of-the-art In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) System and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) into a single, highly integrated controller, marking a significant leap forward in automotive technology.
The xDC platform leverages Qualcomm’s multifunctional Snapdragon Ride Flex SoC, which integrates advanced computer vision and automated driving technologies. This groundbreaking solution processes data from IVI and ADAS systems simultaneously, delivering a seamless and more efficient driving experience. By consolidating these critical vehicle functions into a single SoC, the platform not only boosts performance but also reduces component costs for manufacturers.
One standout feature of the xDC platform is its “ADAS confidence view,” which uses a blend of 3D and 2D graphics to provide proactive driver assistance. This ensures drivers can maintain focus on the road while accessing crucial safety information in real-time. The xDC platform empowers drivers and passengers to interact with the vehicle’s main display intuitively, accessing a wide array of information.
Key features include:
ADAS Alerts: Real-time notifications, such as lane departure warnings and distance monitoring for vehicles ahead.
Dynamic Navigation: Real-time alternative routes based on traffic conditions.
Lifestyle Enhancements: Personalized suggestions, including promotions from frequently visited stores, to enrich the journey.
xDC platform represents the culmination of LG and Qualcomm Technologies’ collaborative efforts to redefine mobility. Attendees of CES 2025, held in Las Vegas from January 7-10, will get an exclusive look at the xDC platform through private showcases by LG and Qualcomm Technologies. This next-generation innovation promises to reshape the automotive landscape, setting a new benchmark for smart, connected mobility solutions.
