From：Internet Info Agency 2026-07-03 21:47:00 General Motors has introduced the Connected Headliner Module (CHM), integrating 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, GNSS, and a processor to replace traditional shark-fin antennas and TCU architectures. This innovation reduces wiring harnesses and connectors, enhances wireless communication performance, and supports software-defined vehicles, OTA updates, and advanced driver assistance features. Teletrac Navman has launched its Electronic Braking Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS), which automatically collects braking data by connecting to a vehicle’s EBS system, generates reports to meet UK DVSA regulatory requirements, and enables predictive maintenance—reducing manual inspections and vehicle downtime. Ford Motor Company has filed a patent for a steering wheel tray that can be mounted onto the steering wheel via an attachment mechanism and folded down with the wheel to create a temporary workspace or dining surface. Ford emphasized that filing this patent does not guarantee future production. Aptiv has unveiled the industry’s first vision-only Advanced Occupant Classification System, using in-cabin cameras and AI algorithms to identify occupant status—replacing conventional seat pressure sensors. The system enables intelligent airbag control and supports over 15 functions including driver monitoring and gesture recognition, while reducing BOM costs by approximately 40%. Seoul Semiconductor announced that its HV opto-semiconductor technology is now in mass production with four leading global automakers and will expand to ten vehicle models within the year. The technology employs a single-chip high-voltage driving solution, reducing component count, power consumption, and drive costs while simplifying overall vehicle E/E architecture design. General Motors has filed a patent for an airbag with variable deployment modes that adapts its inflation pattern based on occupant size, posture, and seat position. It supports multi-position and multi-directional deployment and allows dynamic adjustment of airbag shape, pressure, and inflation zones. Ottawa Infotainment has introduced the Tucker Safety Package, integrating digital alerts, distraction prevention, automatic egress,
