Cockpit Development Kit
The increased demand in cloud and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) functions lead to a revolution in the E/E design towards server- and function based architectures. The Continental Engineering Services (CES) Cockpit Controller is our answer to the demand for high performance human machine interface (HMI) and infotainment controller.
The Cockpit Controller development kit allows you to get started with our high-performance platform. It is an enabler for your User Experience (UX) design and HMI concept, which are the key to your success in the digital transformation. Experience the new possibilities of interaction and function design.
Use the CES Cockpit Development Kit to build your MVP. MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product, which is a product with just enough features to satisfy early development milestones, and to provide feedback for future product development. The MVP approach allows companies to release new features early while only taking small risks, because MVPs are cheaper and take less time than developing a complete solution from the get go.
Drive Your Infotainment Development. Like other forms of technology development, in-vehicle infotainment is undergoing rapid change. This has really begun to accelerate in the last five to six years as the demand for evermore sophisticated and timely in-car technology grows, and automotive platforms like Automotive Cockpit platforms bring more capabilities to the vehicle.
Our Vision is to help developers meet these challenges and requirements, CES offers an automotive Cockpit Domain Controller Evolution / Development platform designed for developing automotive solutions.
