With the rapid evolution of automotive E/E architecture toward centralized computing, functional domain boundaries are gradually dissolving, and the industry chain is undergoing profound restructuring. Leveraging over two decades of mass-production experience in automotive software, KOTEI introduced its latest achievement in cockpit-driving integration at this year’s IAA Mobility —the Integrated Cockpit-Driving-Parking 3D HMI Solution. The solution attracted widespread attention and in-depth discussions among industry experts and partners for its highly integrated and immersive interactive design.
Building on extensive experience in intelligent automotive software mass production, KOTEI has independently developed UEA (Unreal Engine for Automotive), a customized solution based on Unreal Engine tailored for the automotive industry. Compared with the conventional Unreal Engine, UEA reduces CPU and GPU consumption by over 30% and improves development efficiency by more than 50%. It is fully compatible with Android, QNX, Linux, and other vehicle operating systems. With advantages such as a lightweight game engine, standardized development system, full-process toolchain, multi-platform adaptability, and AI-enhanced development, UEA enables the efficient and high-quality implementation of 3D HMI intelligent cockpit solutions.
Amid the industry trend toward cockpit-driving integration, KOTEI showcased its UEA-based Integrated Cockpit-Driving-Parking 3D HMI Solution, which deeply integrates vehicle interaction needs and covers multiple application scenarios such as SR-Map, AVM, APA, and dynamic scenario interaction. The solution demonstrates significant advantages in user experience, technical integration, and cost control.
SR-Map: The environmental perception map supports full-element environment perception reconstruction. Using high-precision real-time rendering technology, it dynamically restores perception data during driving and parking in 3D, supports seamless switching between day/night modes and rain/snow weather conditions, and clearly displays driving intent and surrounding environment status. Compatible with mainstream autonomous driving protocols, the solution can be efficiently adapted to multiple vehicle platforms, facilitating rapid integration and mass production.
AVM: Utilizing industry-leading surround-view image stitching technology and image processing algorithms, it enables seamless splicing, high-definition transparent chassis view, and vehicle model animation, delivering smooth visuals that effectively eliminate blind spots and assist in low-speed parking and narrow-road driving. The solution is flexibly adaptable to various SoC chips and supports rapid integration into cockpit-parking and driving-parking architectures.
APA: The advanced automatic parking product, based on a 5V12U sensor setup and AI algorithms, automatically identifies perpendicular, parallel, and angled parking spaces, and supports complex scenarios such as line-based, fused, and spatial parking. With parking space and route memory functions, it enables one-touch parking. The solution ensures driving comfort and safety, is compatible with multiple autonomous driving platforms, and meets diverse user parking needs.
Dynamic Scenario Interaction: By integrating real-time changing weather and day/night systems, it creates a highly immersive driving experience. Leveraging KOTEI’s self-developed Kustom3D and multi-modal AI 3D technologies, the system can push 3D festive Easter egg scenes dynamically, support hot updates and user-customized interactions, and enable continuous evolution of the cockpit visual and interactive experience.
KOTEI’s Integrated Cockpit-Driving-Parking 3D HMI Solution adopts a unified app architecture that enables seamless “one-shot” cross-scene switching in 3D interactive space. While reducing system computing power and resource consumption, it deeply integrates driving intelligence and cockpit interaction, helping automakers achieve large-scale smart vehicle production at lower costs and providing users with a highly immersive 3D vehicle control and autonomous driving setting experience.
In the future, as 3D, AI, and other technologies continue to advance, cars will evolve into ever-growing intelligent partners. As a leader in the “AI + automotive software” industry, KOTEI will continue to deepen technological innovation, actively collaborate with ecosystem partners, and promote industrial synergy and open cooperation, injecting sustained momentum into the global automotive industry’s intelligent transformation.
