Elektrobit showcased Amazon Alexa at CES 2019

Elektrobit’s cockpit demonstrator

Elektrobit’s software experts created a demonstrator that extended the capabilities of a standard Amazon Alexa HMI integration, enabling the service to be proactive and alert drivers of incidents on the road and assist in the handover between autonomous and manual modes of driving.

Elektrobit software stacks and communication HMI frameworks, following a service-oriented architecture, provided the basis for a seamless and responsive user experience. To make things a bit more entertaining, our experts also created a scenario where, in full autonomous mode only, drivers were able to enjoy a full-blown Fire TV experience!

Additional details of the cockpit demonstrator:

Dialog modifications to the Alexa system are triggered and added to the car’s software, resulting in safer and faster assistant responses.
It featured an 8K dashboard display, control pad, and steering wheel display.
The audio system was equipped with noise reduction for input and augmented audio for output.
