Mitsubishi Electric Corporation unveiled the company’s new in-vehicle infotainment demonstration platform, the FLEXConnect.MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service). Working with Qualcomm Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, Mitsubishi Electric developed FLEXConnect.MaaS, a high performance, highly integrated demonstration system based on the 3rd generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms. FLEXConnect.MaaS shows a variety of customizable infotainment options automakers can utilize to differentiate their vehicles and provide rich and immersive in-vehicle experiences. Leveraging the power of the 3rd generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms, FLEXConnect.MaaS showcases the possibilities of utilizing highly intuitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) experiences for in-vehicle virtual assistance, natural interactions between the vehicle and driver, and cutting-edge technologies for audio and video. FLEXConnct.MaaS is also expandable for the latest connectivity, precise positioning for enhanced navigation solutions and Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Additionally, FLEXConnect.MaaS supports running multiple operating systems, concurrent multi-user interaction and multiple displays, all while leveraging the latest Android Automotive embedded operating systems (OS). The new FLEXConnect. MaaS platform will be available for automotive manufacturers to view by invitation at CES 2020 in the Mitsubishi Electric booth (#7529) in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Demonstrations of the system, based on the 3rd generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms, will be given in the Qualcomm Automotive booth (#5606) in the North Hall. The joint effort in delivering the FLEXConnect.MaaS is an extension of the continued joint efforts between Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and Qualcomm Technologies, building on the work done together on previous projects using other Snapdragon Automotive Platforms.
