About CES 2025

Highlights of Pioneer’s mobility solutions showcased at CES 2026:

(1) Integrated Sound Platform

Our Integrated Sound Platform is scalable, enabling diverse automakers to install Pioneer’s or other vendors’ sound solutions in their vehicles in a manner tailored to their models. Software-enabled hardware design allows for the use of lighter parts and components for auto sound systems, which contributes to lighter vehicles and improved fuel economy, and optimizes costs without compromising acoustic performance. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience three types of sound systems (selectable among entry-level, premium, and luxury) in a specially configured demo vehicle.

(2) Next-level spatial audio system

Our advanced audio system, adaptable to various vehicles including older models, provides drivers and passengers with an exceptional high-quality spatial audio experience. This innovation is the culmination of our extensive expertise in in-vehicle acoustics, coupled with cutting-edge technologies. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience immersive multi-channel spatial audio and a profound sense of presence in a demo vehicle.

(3) Entry-level cockpit domain controller (CDC)

Our newly developed cockpit domain controller1 (CDC) is specifically designed for budget-friendly vehicles, offering a cost-effective alternative for flexible display and control design. This CDC shares the fundamental design extensively with Pioneer’s existing IVI software without employing a hypervisor2, thereby enabling entry-level vehicles to benefit from sophisticated cockpits.

(4) In-vehicle AI-enabled camera solutions for driver safety and convenience

Pioneer’s next-generation automotive-grade AI-enabled camera platforms elevate driver safety by enhancing visibility and eliminating blind-spots, and also deliver personalized driving experiences.

We will showcase a demo vehicle equipped with ten AI-enabled cameras, designed for factory-installation by automakers, providing the driver with 360-degree surround view during driving, parking, and poor weather scenarios. We will also showcase our drive recorder portfolio, which encompasses a connected smart camera featuring real-time driver monitoring, alerts, and driving diagnostics, as well as digital mirrors, modular dashcams, and other accessories, available for factory installation and as add-ons to enterprise fleets.

(5) Connected solutions for motorcycles

We will unveil software-defined solutions for motorcycles, encompassing next-generation meter clusters, onboard camera devices, and other connected solutions. Live demonstrations will showcase exciting services made possible by Pioneer Ride Connect, which integrates Bluetooth Low Energy（BLE） between smartphones and onboard devices, AI technology for enhancing the safety and smart entertainment of motorcyclists, and unique human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that facilitates an intuitive user experience.
