Solutions for User Experience, Automated driving and the Software-defined Vehicle: Continental makes driving safer, cleaner, and more comfortable
Technology company Continental is inviting customers, media and the investor community to experience the future of mobility through its latest cutting-edge technologies. At CES 2023,
'We are ushering in a new era of mobility,' said
Sustainable solutions along the entire value chain
The share of renewable and recycled feedstock in the Conti Urban increases to more than 90 percent after the first retread.
Continental drives innovative technologies and sustainable solutions along its entire value chain, from material sourcing to recycling. At CES 2023, the company will highlight two sustainable solutions originating from its tire business: the ContiTread EcoPlus Green and

Continental has expanded its portfolio for assisted driving with Ambarella's scalable and powerful system-on-chip family for faster processing of increased sensor data in the vehicle, paving the way towards autonomous mobility.
Continental is integrating the 'CV3' SoC family with artificial intelligence (AI) from semiconductor company Ambarella into its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The aim is to offer the market scalable solutions that meet their individual requirements for assisted driving. The integration, announced in November, will be presented for the first time in
The high-performance, power efficient and scalable SoC portfolio from Ambarella processes acquired sensor data faster and more comprehensively at about half the regular power consumption. This enables a broader environmental perception for safer mobility. With less power consumption and a lighter weight of the battery, the chipset can also contribute to an increased range of electric vehicles. It complements Continental's solutions for assisted driving and further advances vehicle automation.
Thanks to its high dynamic spatial resolution with a long range detection, the high-performance LiDAR from Continental and

In addition to becoming more automated, vehicle technology is increasingly more connected. Connected vehicles make driving safer and more convenient. To support such new functions, cars are becoming computers on wheels. Software-defined vehicles and connected mobility require more intelligence and more computing power, but current vehicle architectures were reaching their limits. Continental's High-Performance Computer (HPC), first introduced with
Continental's x-Domain Zone Control Units are key for the software-defined vehicle
Continental's x-Domain Zone Control Units unlock the full potential of the software-defined vehicle by reducing a vehicle network's complexity and cost by supporting the separation of the software from the hardware.
ZCUs help realize the full potential of the software-defined vehicle as more complex software functions are continually introduced. By supporting the increasing separation of software and hardware, ZCUs reduce vehicle network complexity as well as cost. This separation is necessary for continuous updates, improvements, and function deployment services in connected vehicles.Here, ZCUs take over the role of a communication gateway.
They act as intermediaries between high-performance computers, vehicle sensors, actuators, and electronic control units. Additionally, they provide smart power distribution and ensure the reliable execution of x-Domain real-time vehicle functions, such as audio, external sound, parking, HVAC or suspension. Continental's ZCU platform is scalable and modular to allow vehicle manufacturers maximum flexibility for the design of their vehicle architectures. Complete integration is available for hardware, software and 3rd party software, services, and functions. With this approach, Continental enables vehicle manufacturers to introduce solutions quicker and in a more cost-efficient way.
Software for the mobility of tomorrow
Future software will unlock all new opportunities for vehicles. To ensure vehicles can expand with software, Continental offers the Continental Automotive Edge Framework (CAEdge). It is a modular hardware and software framework that connects a vehicle to the cloud and provides developers with the possibility to create, test and deploy software functions in a highly efficient way. This allows connected vehicles to evolve over the entire life cycle with quick and convenient software updates. Drivers can integrate functions that will be invented in the future and add to the capabilities of their vehicle. To enable this, vehicle manufacturers can also choose from a full range of software-solutions from Continental's functions catalog, such as Window Lifter, Software-Defined Radio, Motion or Maneuvering Packages for Automated Driving or Remote Parking, and many more.
Immersive Driver Experience
Continental's Curved Ultrawide Display spans across the entire width of the cockpit. The avant-garde display design creates a new dimension of user experience while the innovative operating concept based on an invisible control panel ensures greater safety and comfort.
Innovations are all about improving the driving experience. Continental is not only focused on making driving safer, but also more intuitive and immersive for drivers. As User Experience is becoming a key factor for car buyers, Continental's display technology will show how the interior of the vehicle is becoming the 'new horsepower'. With the Curved Ultrawide Display Continental will showcase a curved display spanning across the entire width of the cockpit at CES 2023. 'Ultrawide' means a width of more than 1.2 meters (nearly 4 feet), which arches from one A-pillar to the other. The avant-garde display design creates a new dimension of user experience while the innovative operating concept based on a shy control panel ensures greater safety and comfort.
