LG ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCE NEW SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION PARTNERSHIP WITH GOOGLE

Showcasing LG's AAOS-Based Innovations

A new range of solutions is built on Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and AAOS SDV technologies. While AAOS SDV enables software to define and control core vehicle functions from driving performance and convenience features to safety systems, AAOS serves as the foundation for delivering infotainment experiences to passengers.

Enabling Seamless Multi-Display Experiences with a Single SoC

A key element is a new solution for simultaneously controlling multiple in-vehicle displays. Powered by Qualcomm Technologies' next generation Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform, LG's solution offers clear, vibrant images and smooth, stable performance enabling a seamless experience across navigation, vehicle information, and entertainment.

Unlike conventional in-vehicle display systems, which require a separate control chip for each screen, LG's AAOS-based solution can simultaneously control multiple displays with different aspect ratios using only a single system-on-chip (SoC). Leveraging LG's efficient resource allocation technology and system load optimization capabilities, the solution supports automakers to significantly reduce the cost of deploying multi-display in-cabin systems.

Delivering Personalized and Intuitive In-Cabin Experiences

LG's technology allows each person in the vehicle to view different content at the same time. For example, the driver can use navigation on the main display while the front-seat passenger watches YouTube, and the rear-seat passengers enjoy live TV content on their respective screens. The solution also supports individual user login accounts, personalized settings, content sharing and parental controls, enabling a more customized and flexible in-cabin entertainment experience for every passenger.

Additionally, LG has enhanced its voice command-based user interface to provide easier control in large panoramic dashboard environments. With simple spoken commands, users can adjust screen layouts, control key vehicle functions, launch apps and manage system volume. The reduced need for touch interaction contributes to improved convenience and safety in-cabin.

Strengthening Collaboration With Google for the SDV Era

Google executives commended LG's solution for its stable performance, differentiated user experience and ability to support cluster and media entertainment functions through a single SoC.

The solution also received a favorable evaluation for its flexibility in various SoC environments, its potential suitability for a wide range of automotive applications, and its broad chipset compatibility. The positive response reaffirmed the strength of LG and Google's partnership and signaled further opportunities for collaboration.

"LG's solution clearly demonstrated how AAOS can enable more flexible, intelligent and engaging in-vehicle experiences," said Patrick Brady, vice president of Android Automotive at Google. "Its seamless multi-display integration, intuitive voice controls and stable performance powered by a single SoC stood out, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with LG to advance innovation for the SDV era."

"We are honored that our technological expertise and commitment to customer experience innovation have been recognized," said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. "Through continued collaboration with Google and other major global tech partners, LG will continue to deliver differentiated in-vehicle customer experiences."

CAR-Institut: 2,5 Milliarden Euro Zusatzkosten durch Trumps EU-Autozölle

04.05.2026

Die von US-Präsident Donald Trump angekündigten Zölle von 25 Prozent auf Neuwagenimporte aus der Europäischen Union würden nach Einschätzung von Branchenexperten vor allem die deutsche Autoindustrie treffen. Berechnungen des Center Automotive Research (CAR) in Bochum zufolge kämen allein auf die Autoproduktion in Deutschland zusätzliche Belastungen von rund 2,5 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr zu. Hinzu kämen weitere Kosten für US-Exporte deutscher Hersteller aus Werken in anderen EU-Staaten.

Obwohl sich die Maßnahmen formal gegen die gesamte EU richten, sieht CAR-Direktor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer insbesondere Deutschland im Visier Washingtons. Die Exporte anderer ausländischer Autobauer in die USA seien „unwesentlich“, sagte er und sprach mit Blick auf die neuen Zoll-Drohungen vom möglichen Beginn eines „Wirtschaftskriegs gegen Deutschland“. Die Maßnahmen würden die Hersteller jedoch unterschiedlich hart treffen, abhängig von ihrer Produktionsstruktur und Präsenz in den Vereinigten Staaten.

Relativ besser gestellt wären demnach Konzerne wie BMW und Mercedes-Benz, die über umfangreiche Produktionskapazitäten in den USA verfügen. In ihren US-Werken fertigen sie vor allem SUV-Modelle, die den Großteil ihrer Verkäufe auf dem US-Markt ausmachen. Diese lokale Produktion wirkt nach Einschätzung Dudenhöffers wie ein „Zollschutz“, weil in den USA montierte Fahrzeuge nicht unter die geplanten Importzölle auf Neuwagen aus der EU fallen würden.

Deutlich verwundbarer wären dagegen Marken wie Audi und Porsche, die ihre Fahrzeuge bislang weitgehend aus Europa in die USA liefern. Für sie könnten die neuen Einfuhrabgaben ein Anreiz sein, Pläne zum Aufbau eigener Produktionsstätten in den Vereinigten Staaten zu beschleunigen. Vollständig auffangen können die Hersteller die zusätzlichen Kosten nach Einschätzung des CAR-Instituts jedoch nicht. Ein Teil der Belastungen dürfte über Preiserhöhungen an die US-Käufer weitergegeben werden. Dank der starken Markenbindung rechnet Dudenhöffer zwar nicht mit einem abrupten Nachfrageeinbruch, die deutschen Autobauer stünden jedoch vor der Herausforderung, ihre Preissetzung und Standortstrategie zügig an die neue handelspolitische Lage anzupassen.
