Press Release, 7 January 2026
At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, automotive tech specialist Visteon Corporation delivered its most ambitious and immersive showcase yet, highlighting real-world technologies that are shaping the future of mobility. Far from concept prototypes, the company demonstrated production-ready solutions across AI computing, intelligent cockpit systems, advanced displays, connectivity platforms and electrification tools all designed to enable software-defined vehicles (SDVs) at scale. The event also featured the debut of Visteon’s refreshed brand identity, signaling its evolution from a traditional supplier to a technology co-creator for global automakers.
Central to Visteon’s showcase were two next-generation AI computing platforms aimed at meeting diverse vehicle requirements. The first, SmartCore™ HPC, is a high-performance cockpit domain controller launching in 2026 that delivers up to 700 trillion operations per second. Built for premium, centralized cockpit architectures, SmartCore supports multi-display experiences, extensive camera systems and ECU consolidation, giving automakers a powerful foundation for AI-enabled in-cabinet experiences. Building on last year’s cognitoAI™ debut, Visteon also unveiled a new AI-ADAS Compute Module capable of supporting either intelligent cockpit functions or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This plug-and-play solution combines edge-first processing with cloud connectivity, enabling intuitive user experiences and real-time performance without costly redesigns of existing vehicle architectures.
Visteon didn’t stop at computing platforms. The company showcased its Entry Cockpit, which brings smartphone projection including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to displays smaller than seven inches, opening the door for connected experiences in two-wheelers, three-wheelers, light commercial vehicles and entry-level passenger cars. Its display portfolio spanned from entry-level screens to advanced triple-screen and pillar-to-pillar installations, alongside previews of next-generation head-up and projection technologies. Visteon’s 5G connectivity solutions and electrification platform addressing 48V, 400V and 800V architectures rounded out the exhibit, underscoring the company’s comprehensive approach to the software-defined future.
By bringing production-ready technologies to the CES stage, Visteon emphasized its commitment to helping automakers navigate the shift to connected, intelligent and software-centric vehicles, combining hardware-software integration with flexibility for global deployments and future features.
