The infotainment doesn’t stop there, however. The M-Byte concept will also feature voice and gesture control, along with a seven-inch steering wheel mounted display, an eight-inch touchpad between the front seats and a pair of touchscreens for the rear-seat passengers. All the systems and screens are connected and all can send messages and information to the large dash-mounted screen if required.

Supposedly, the system can recognise the voices of its users as well as identify the seat in which they’re sitting. A machine learning system known as “Byton Life” can also sync with the driver’s smartphone and schedule reminders, perform online shopping tasks and issue charging info.

Hyundai

Hyundai MOBIS, parts supplier to the Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai, is planning two concepts for the CES; a concept car interior which introduces several new technologies focussed on driver convenience and autonomous driving, and a go-anywhere robotic concept called “Elevate.”

Hyundai’s concept interior will showcase the Korean company’s new “Virtual Touch Technology;” an interior infotainment interface which recognises the driver’s gestures instead of touchscreen commands. It will be used to operate an adaptive windscreen, (somewhat unimaginatively called “Windscreen Display Technology”) which is transparent during manual driving mode, but can be blacked out completely in autonomous mode, allowing the occupants to enjoy movies and streaming entertainment on a large display.
