Oulu, Finland, June 18, 2020 – Bittium has continued developing advanced reference design for Android™ Automotive operating system. The new use cases will feature intelligent and adaptive driver-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface) solutions with personalized user experience.

Bittium´s reference design, which will be showcased in the Virtual Car HMI Europe webinar, includes a digital cluster and infotainment system built by using Rightware's Kanzi UI tools.

New use cases will feature driver recognition and emotion tracking which are used for adaptive user experience. With driver monitoring and adaptive UI, the car IVI (In-Vehicle-Infotainment) and cluster systems will adapt according to driver's behavior and needs to reduce unnecessary distractions and improve road safety.
