In Connected car news are Qualcomm, BMW, Cinemo, SmashLabs, Rear View Safety, Teradar, Soracom, Neusoft and GigaDevice. Cinemo And SmashLabs Integrate Multi-Sensory In-Car Gaming Architecture Cinemo has integrated SmashLabs gaming software into its scalable in-vehicle infotainment architecture, creating a multi-sensory cabin experience synchronized across lighting, haptics, audio, and climate controls. The low-latency system leverages Dolby Atmos processing and is engineered for deployment across automotive displays during stationary charging intervals or passenger transit. The initial deployment features Smashworld: Beat Explorers, utilizing dynamic content packs licensed via Sony Music Publishing and Extreme Music. This modular software framework provides OEMs with a mechanism to differentiate connected vehicle ecosystems and expand cabin entertainment features without introducing system latency Rear View Safety AirVue™ System Upgrade Rear View Safety has launched an upgraded iteration of its AirVue wireless trailer safety platform, integrating advanced object-detection sensors and expanded multi-camera architecture. The enhanced system supports up to six distinct camera feeds—combining three wired and three wireless channels—to deliver comprehensive perimeter visibility and eliminate operational blind spots across commercial fleets. Integration of proprietary Pairing-over-Power technology facilitates buttonless camera-to-monitor synchronization, streamlining drop-and-hook workflows in high-density loading environments. Complementing the optical feeds, integrated proximity backup sensors provide an eight-foot active detection range in reverse, establishing a robust sensor-fusion layer designed to mitigate collision risks for heavy commercial vehicles. Michigan Automaker Initiates Paid Evaluation of Teradar Terahertz Vision Sensors Boston-based perception technology startup Teradar has secured a paid, six-month technical evaluation agreement with an unnamed Michigan OEM to integrate solid-state terahertz vision hardware into future vehicle architectures. The real-world testing program focuses on vehicle integration, hardware performance, and edge-case resolution to inform the unified sensor suite for the OEM’s planned 2030 production run of Level 2 through Level 4 autonomous and ADAS-equipped platform lines. The evaluation will assess the terahertz electromagnetic spectrum
