The partnership between HARMAN and Samsung was also detailed at CES 2018. In addition to the camera system, the two are also working on a new digital cockpit platform for all vehicle segments. A new telematics solution is also part of the partnership with the first automotive-grade 5G ready connectivity solution.
The digital cockpit has a premium configuration with ecosystem of connected lifestyle across the Internet of Things. The system has multiple displays and uses the HARMAN Ignite Platform allowing a personalizable experience in-car for driver and passenger. The new Samsung and Harman hardware will start shipping this year.
