IAA 2021丨Continental will showcase in-vehicle supercomputers and innovative solutions for autonomous driving

Continental will participate in the IAA Mobility 2021 with the theme of "Safety, Connectivity, Convenience. 150 Years of Heart'Land' Driving Future Mobility." For a century and a half, the technology company Continental has provided smart solutions for people's safe and sustainable travel and cargo transportation. Visitors to the exhibition can experience Continental's latest technologies and innovative products in person at booth C20 in Hall B1. If you can't be there, you can visit the virtual booth online. Continental will hold a press conference from 5:25 to 5:40 pm Beijing time on September 6, 2021, and CEO Mr. Stucher will attend the press conference.

Continental will showcase its product portfolio in the fields of in-vehicle supercomputers and autonomous driving at IAA Mobility 2021. Mr. Situ Che believes: "In the future, we will not only be able to drive vehicles, but also experience them. This is what we have been dreaming of for 150 years."

Server-based automotive architecture: How cars become computers on wheels

New platform architectures and high-performance computing units are disrupting the development of modern cars. At this exhibition, Continental will demonstrate how software based on Continental's automotive electronics edge computing architecture and powerful IT infrastructure can realize new functions and change people's travel. In addition, Continental will also showcase the opportunities brought by server-based automotive architecture.

The future of travel will be driverless

In the future, more and more vehicles will first be autonomous and then unmanned. At IAA Mobility 2021, the technology company Continental will focus on the latest developments in driverless passenger cars and fleets, and will introduce radar sensors, camera technology, lidar sensors, high-performance computing units for autonomous driving, full-stack software, cockpit perception and human-machine interaction solutions. As part of a project for the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), Continental will also participate in a demonstration of automated parking.

Working together to create a clean and livable future

Continental has always believed that sustainable business is the way to future development. Therefore, the first step of Continental's sustainable development strategy is to comprehensively promote the carbon neutrality of global zero-emission vehicle business from 2022. At this IAA Mobility 2021, Continental will launch a special sustainable concept tire for the first time in the world, which combines current and future innovative tire structure technologies, reflecting Continental's diverse sustainable development initiatives. The integrated and sustainable design aims to minimize the resource consumption of tires throughout the value chain. As a premium tire manufacturer, Continental will also showcase recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET, polyester) bottles for the first time and extract sustainable polyester yarn from PET bottles.

User Experience: I Drive, Therefore I Am

Continental has always been committed to creating a seamless, barrier-free and innovative travel experience. At the exhibition, Continental will showcase solutions in design, innovation, functionality, personalization and sustainable development. Its application examples cover a wide range, including vehicle entry, audio, display and appearance solutions. There is such an example in the field of future mobile cabins. The AMBIENC3 concept car combines retro and future, redefining the new appearance while meeting the requirements of autonomous driving.

Smart Mobility: Cars as Part of the Internet

At IAA Mobility 2021, Continental will demonstrate how smart mobility can be achieved with its self-developed hardware and software solutions and help reduce accidents, traffic jams and emissions. In addition to these applications, Continental's portfolio also includes services for car sharing, fleet management, logistics providers and automakers.

Safe travel

As a leading system supplier, technology company Continental will also showcase its outstanding technologies in the field of safe driving. These solutions cover the entire perception-planning-action process of driving, including a new generation of braking systems, sensors and restraint systems to protect occupants. These forward-looking innovative technologies are interconnected and collaborative, marking another milestone on Continental's road to Vision Zero (future travel without traffic accidents).
