Continental’s Automotive group sector has made its debut as independent company Aumovio, which pools together Continental’s consolidated automotive expertise into a technology and electronics company.
“We have bundled our unique expertise into one company that is focused on key technologies. Together with our customers, we can now shape the future of mobility and create value in a more focused way,” says Philipp von Hirschheydt, CEO of Aumovio.
Advances in autonomous driving
Aumovio will offer various technologies for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) to enable assisted, automated and autonomous driving.
Aumovio’s scalable, modular system, Xelve, is one such technology. Comprising hardware and software, the solution has been developed for Level 2 to Level 4 functions and can be customized for vehicles ranging from the high-volume to premium segments. The solution offers automated parking functions with Xelve Park; AI-supported decision-making with Xelve Drive; and Level 4 automated driving through Xelve Pilot.
The company will also offer an AI-supported camera for improved night vision that hasveen designed to improve image quality and, therefore, vision in the dark.
Aumovio also offers a window projection technology that visually projects content onto the side window of a vehicle. When the vehicle is parked, important information can be seen from outside, including the charge level of an electric vehicle or personalized content. The system uses a powerful mini projector, an electrically dimmable side window and intelligent software.
Road to Cloud platform for SDVs
Aumovio has also unveiled an integrated Road to Cloud platform for SDVs, which provides a complete infrastructure from a single source, enabling automotive manufacturers to develop and operate safe connected vehicles. The platform comprises standardized operating systems, middleware, over-the-air updates and cybersecurity, offering vehicle manufacturers maximum flexibility when designing their individual vehicle architectures.
