According to 260 Continental, for the first time the in-car infotainment platform aids the integration of driver assistance functions with a camera system offering 360-degree surround view. Depending on the size of the vehicle, the system consists of at least four of Continental’s surround view cameras which capture the entire area around the vehicle.

So that no obstacle is overlooked when parking, drivers can display different perspectives and image sections on the infotainment system screen. They can even change to a bird’s eye view on the screen and ‘float’ freely above the vehicle.

The cameras use an unshielded twisted pair Ethernet connection, which Continental believes is better than conventional video cabling.  All the computing power is located in the infotainment system processor, so only the cameras and cabling need to be installed in the vehicle.

Particular sections of motorways are already experiencing repeated, sometimes tidal, congestion and both tight Treasury limits and t

    There is a lot of excited chatter about autonomous vehicles – but 2getthere’s Robbert Lohmann suggests we might need to take a step back and look realistically at what is achievable. You might be surprised that the chief commercial officer of a company delivering autonomous vehicles would begin an article with the suggestion that we need to get past the hype. And yet I do; because we have to, and urgently so. The hype prevents the development of autonomous vehicles that address actual transit needs. And
