Pioneer aims to be a leading company of "Comprehensive Infotainment" in vehicles.

Outline of exhibits

Advanced UX Cockpit Designed for Automated Driving (reference exhibit)

Visitors can enjoy a simulated driving experience of our SAE International Level 3^* automated driving system. Level 3 is defined as conditional automation of the operational (steering, braking, accelerating, monitoring the vehicle and the roadway) and tactical (responding to events, determining when to change lanes, turn, use signals, etc.) aspects of the driving task. One of the biggest technological challenges of Level 3 automation is creating a safe and reliable hand-off from automated driving to manual driving. At the booth Pioneer is demonstrating how our technologies can be integrated into an automated system that meets the challenges of Level 3 automation. These technologies include new interfaces designed to offer safe and comfortable automated driving functions and new ways to enjoy time and space during travel in the age of automated driving. The cockpit is loaded with a 3D-LiDAR, a driving space sensor, considered to be a key device for realizing automated driving, a HUD （Head Up Display） providing intuitive information by AR (Augmented Reality) representations and driver monitoring systems that detect driver drowsiness.
