The self-driving car is widely touted as the “next big thing” for the automotive industry worldwide. Major projects around autonomous driving technology are in development – and HARMAN is leading the way. Partnering with concept car maker Rinspeed, HARMAN has built an infotainment system that has built an infotainment system that gives a glimpse of the future.

With its luxurious interior for two, and with next-generation navigation, entertainment, driver assistance and autopilot mode from the HARMAN infotainment platform, the Rinspeed Budii shows where the self-driving journey could be heading.

The future is now

Driverless cars might be some way off yet, but trends are clearly pointing in this direction. Industry leaders such as Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche are on record as stating that the automobileis growing beyond its role as a means of transportand will ultimately become and will ultimately become a mobile living space.

The Budii is also equipped with a premium sound system from Harman Kardon to provide passengers with top-quality audio. Aiming to bring a homelike entertainment experience to the car, HARMAN offers its latest technologies:

Concert hall on wheels

·HD Audio·ISZ (Individual Sound Zones) for individual listening pleasure at all seating positions

·HALOsonic® RNC (Road Noise Cancellation) for minimizing road noise

Communication between the app ecosystem and the outside world is strictly monitored. However, over-the-air software updates are still possible for all functions, so the infotainment system can be kept up-to-date and relevant even years after the car years after the car rolls off the assembly line.

The car’s critical vehicle functions – those associated with safety and integrity – are processed in a special trusted zone, while third-party applications run in a completely separate ring-fenced area. This isolates the critical vehicle functions and keeps potential hackers at bay. This is done by providing the latest security:

·Based on HTML5 and automotive-grade Linux. ·Using type 1 hypervisor technology to segregate and control vehicle domains.

Self-driving cars such as the Rinspeed Budii rely on data from their own sensors and from external sources such as other cars or vehicle control centers. In the Budii, real-time data is consolidated by the system and communicated with the Aha Cloud Platform through an integrated telematics communicationmodule. The Budii featumodule. The Budii features HARMAN’slatest infotainment platform, which wasdeveloped specifically to protectvehicle systems from the increasedrisk of cyber-attack.

One of the vehicles showcasing self-driving technology is the new Rinspeed Budii. It is equipped with an intelligent infotainment system by HARMAN, bringingtechnology into the vehicle that may seem like science fiction. The Budii will let you get on with other tasks while commuting to work, search for a parking space (and do the for a parking space (and do the parking for you), and instantly hand back control should youwish to take the wheel yourself.

·Safety – an overwhelming proportion of road accidents are caused by driver error, through inattention, poor decisions or misjudging situations.

··Traffic congestion – According to studies by the US military, up to 4x more cars could travel on the highways.

In addition to positive media hype, there are real reasons why so much time and effort is being invested in self-driving vehicle technology around the world.

·The UK is funding a multi-million-pound study to spur development of these cars and trialing shuttles in four major cities.

·Germany is backing an effort to establish a permanent test route for autonomous vehicles in public traffic on one of the country’s busiest autobahns.

··In California, Google is planning to build 150 autonomous cars for testing on public roads.
