The way we move from point a to point B in cities and elsewhere is changing. We are not only seeing car manufacturers committed to the future of electrification, but also investing in autonomous driving technology. LG, an electronics giant, also wants to participate and is developing a mobile home office or entertainment room called omnipod.
LG's vision for the future of autonomous driving made its debut at the 2022 International Consumer Electronics Exhibition and was physically displayed at the IEEE International Communication Conference held in Seoul, South Korea this week.
In terms of appearance, it has a similar block appearance with autopilots such as e-palette, SC-1 and zoox. It is envisaged as a modular expansion of the family. "In fact, it can be used as any type of space, from the office or recording studio to the video editing workshop, and even the lounge."
When there is a screen on the opposite side of the floor or ceiling, you will notice it first. This will accommodate a lifelike AI assistant that will meet all your car needs.
When passengers enter, the vehicle bathes them in negative ion air flow "to take away dust and bacteria". OmniPod It is also the location of LG Styler wardrobe. It also uses ionization technology to process any clothes (such as jackets or business suits) and shoes placed inside.
The passenger seat of the concept car consists of comfortable sofa benches and swivel chairs. The digital assistant will adjust the vehicle's many display screens to suit specific purposes - for example, provide an instrument panel to display basic information such as schedule and weather, or provide a middle height display so that passengers can start working, or create a full-scale movie entertainment environment to realize immersive viewing.
Multimedia screens can be combined into a wide digital wall, or turned off completely, and the lights in the cabin are dimmed so that passengers can lie down and take a quick nap. Internal sensors and thermal imagers can even monitor users' sleep quality, heart rate and body temperature.
If you feel hungry on the self driving omnipod, there is a two drawer cooler by the door to refrigerate refreshments, and an induction cooker on it can also be used to prepare hot meals. There is a monitoring system in the carriage, which can automatically adjust the temperature and lighting to ensure the comfort of passengers. Although the integrated audio system is not mentioned, since the company has been quite professional in these aspects, users may expect a set of impact sound equipment.
When the space in the car is vacated, the digital assistant can turn on the ultraviolet lighting and set up a robot vacuum cleaner to ensure that the space is clean and tidy when the user returns.
LG believes that omnipod can achieve complete autonomy. External sensors and visual cameras go hand in hand to observe what happens around the vehicle, but for people who like to control, it includes driving mode like ordinary cars. If necessary, these external cameras can be transmitted to the display screen of the car in real time, and the real-time digital map created by LG R & D laboratory and here technology can be transmitted to the multimedia screen.
This is a connected car. When it goes on the road, it may use 6G or some future mobile communication technology. However, this is largely a concept that demonstrates LG's technology and its vision for the upcoming autonomous transportation to meet our increasingly close lifestyle, and the company has not shown any potential production plans.
