The architecture includes host OS and hypervisor functionality, with separate virtual machines for the AI gesture detection and headlight applications. By combining GMSL bandwidth with E²B’s low latency, the system enables smooth front-light response to driver gestures.

In a shared cabin, competing audio sources can affect comfort, privacy, and driver focus. ADI's A²B connectivity, DSP, software, and audio algorithms create targeted personal sound zones through headrest speakers. Directed audio can reduce listening fatigue, support more private hands-free calls, and route navigation prompts without interrupting passengers. Localized safety alerts and optimized cabin acoustics also support better situational awareness with less distraction.

Electric vehicle battery systems need more than basic monitoring to support safety, reliability, and smarter control. ADI’s wireless Battery Management System is combined with single-cell monitoring and Battery Insights analytics. Real-time cell voltage, temperature, and system health data flow wirelessly from individual cells to the vehicle controller. Advanced analytics visualize battery health trends and detect abnormal conditions, turning raw measurements into actionable battery intelligence.

Large in-cabin displays require high-quality video transport without adding unnecessary wiring or system complexity. This demo shows one serializer connected to three daisy-chained deserializers on the same GMSL3 link, using twisted-pair cables. The incoming superframe is split equally across the three deserializers so the displays appear as a single seamless full-HD display. The architecture supports scalable pillar-to-pillar display designs for next-generation cabins.

Software-defined vehicles require in-vehicle networks that support over-the-air software updates, while new audio and acoustic features demand substantially more audio bandwidth than previous vehicle generations.
