Technologies and products for safer and more convenient
transportation in smart mobility era
Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it will
exhibit cutting-edge technologies and products, including its EMIRAI4
driving-assistance concept car for safer and more convenient
transportation in the smart mobility era under the concept of "Make the
move to mobility," at CES in Las Vegas, U.S.A. from January 9 to 12.
Mitsubishi Electric will present its exhibits at booth No. 5609 in the
North Hall.
Main Exhibits
Connected Zone
The EMIRAI4 smart-mobility concept car features next-generation
driving-assistance technologies, including the latest human machine
interface (HMI) technology for safer, more comfortable interiors, a
driver-monitoring system with a wide-angle camera to watch for
drowsiness and other potentially unsafe driving behavior, and an
indicator system that projects illuminated warnings onto street
surfaces to intuitively alert other vehicles and pedestrians of the
car’s intended actions, such as opening a door.
The demonstration car for the North America market will feature an
advanced HMI that recognizes individual drivers by voice and provides
front passengers with diverse assistance, foretelling increasingly
closer links between people and their vehicles. Mitsubishi Electric
will also present its safe-driving concept of using airborne drones to
provide vehicles with data about road conditions when driving in bad
visibility like off-road.
A video will introduce the possibility of a value-added advanced
location based service which is being discussed between HERE
Technologies and Mitsubishi Electric.
Autonomous Driving Zone
This zone will showcase the xAUTO-US autonomous-driving vehicle, which
is undergoing field testing on actual expressways.
A demonstration video will introduce driving tests that are being
conducted on public roads to confirm Mitsubishi Electric’s
self-sensing and network-based driving technologies.
The zone will also showcase high-accuracy 3D mapping technologies and
products.
