“Audi and NVIDIA engineers work closely together to develop hardware and software that truly delight customers,” said Mathias Halliger, chief architect of Infotainment Systems at Audi. “With the flexible VCM platform, we are able to quickly bring to market a new generation of Tegra-based infotainment systems, as well as an integrated mobile computer, matching the rapid cadence of the consumer electronics industry.”
Cockpit of the Future
Additionally, Audi unveiled a new, fully digital instrument cluster, powered by Tegra 3. The virtual cockpit – which will first appear in the 2015 Audi TT sports coupe – delivers clearly presented information to the driver on a 12.3-inch, high-definition display.
The virtual cockpit features refined digital gauges with smooth needle animation, as well as beautiful 3D maps, delivering an elegant, informative display. Drivers have the ability to configure the dashboard controls based on their personal preferences.
“The cockpit of the future is about creating an appealing and useful experience while minimizing distraction,” said Robert Kolar, leader of Instrument Cluster Systems at Audi. “NVIDIA enables us to easily achieve this goal.”
