Drawing on Visteon's proprietary research into consumer
perceptions of the ideal vehicle electronics experience, Visteon
will showcase audio, infotainment, connectivity, driver

debut at the show. Representing Visteon's vision of mobility in the
year 2020, the e-Bee uses innovative technology, including
display-based controls and Cloud-centered profile storage, to
create a unique and personalized driving experience.
Fully compatible with electric vehicle and hybrid platforms, the
e-Bee demonstrates intelligent mobility, where the vehicle gathers
and disseminates useful driving-related data, acts as part of a
wider mobility-enabling network and integrates technology and
design that is simple, flexible and frugal. The e-Bee will be
available for demonstrations at Visteon's booth in Hall 6.
"Increasingly, motorists expect their vehicles to deliver the
same rich experience they enjoy with their consumer electronics
devices," said Steve Meszaros,
Visteon product group president, electronics. "Our automotive
electronics solutions are designed to bridge the gap between
consumer electronics and the driving experience, making it easier
and more enjoyable for consumers to stay connected to their
vehicles and the outside world, while mitigating distraction."
At the show, visitors will be able to experience technologies
from Visteon's extensive electronics portfolio, which includes
audio and infotainment, and information and controls. In addition,
visitors can interact with the company's latest connectivity and
human machine interaction (HMI) solutions:

system also supports Internet radio and Cloud-based storage while
allowing caching of content.
- Helping drivers manage cognitive workload, Visteon's head-up
display systems are designed to display different types of critical
information directly in the driver's line of sight. Initial
development projects include both combiner and windshield head-up
display systems using a TFT image source.

electronics-style interface feature controls for automotive
applications that are reliable, accurate and highly responsive
