What about the future car? Atmel showcases touch chip solutions

The concept design of Atmel's center console, which was unveiled at CES this year, was introduced to China. According to the manufacturer, this demo shows how the car's central control may look after 2018. Of course, this cool central control used as a concept display is not a finished product, just for showing if the car manufacturer is willing to use the Atmel touch chip solution. If you can make a central control.

Car control

Atmel is a company that makes microcontrollers, capacitive touch solutions, mixed-signal technologies, and other solutions that can be used on screens ranging from 2 inches to 12 inches, so customers range from mobile phones to cars. The touch chip solution shown this time is called AvantCar, which is for the future car. The demo product is equipped with two large convex screens, without any physical buttons, integrated with multiple capacitive touch buttons, enabling navigation, air conditioning, radio, Multimedia playback, seat control, etc.

Atmel believes that the screen is the future direction of vehicle-mounted central control. Of course, since Tesla's success, I am afraid this has become a consensus. AvantCar gives car manufacturers more space, and the screen size and number of screens can be customized. The demo of the show uses Atmel's own 4 major technologies:

1. Flexible touch sensor with metal grid technology XSense can be used for streamlined surfaces and edges, and is moisture and cold resistant, supporting glove touch operation.

2. The touch part relies on the maXTouch controller to achieve fast response, precise touch control and reduced power consumption.

3, QTouch technology makes the induction feedback more intuitive, while adding the proximity sensing function, the proximity sensing function can sense the approaching hand and then implement the corresponding control. As for the specific control, the car manufacturer can freely customize.

4. The LIN solution responsible for lighting control allows the driver to personalize the interior lighting.

The demo can achieve very cool results, including multi-finger touch operation and sliding selection are similar to the smart phone control, no learning costs, demo also demonstrates the interaction between the two screens, such as the following screen Select the app on the menu and drag it directly into the screen above to zoom in on the app.

Explain the operation of the car's central control

However, because it is just a technology display product, the demo is full of "firepower", it seems that the interaction is more complicated, and occasionally it will be a bit fluent. According to Atmel's marketing director Stephan Thaler, all the future car manufacturers of these technologies are free. Choice and combination. However, according to Atmel's plan, it is 3-4 years later to see the similar products that use this product. Is it true that the car control in 2018 is really like this? Let's see it when we get there.
