At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, Harman introduced Harman LIVS as an intelligent system to power the Rinspeed Etos. The Rinspeed Etos is known as an autonomous hybrid car that comes with a companion drone, which makes it fairly impressive already as a car of the future. But in tandem with the LIVS system, the car is even smarter.
LIVS, which stands for 'Life-Enhancing Intelligent Vehicle Solution,' provides a driver with camera assistance, 3D navigation tools, personalized in-car entertainment, tools for the mobile office and more. Essentially, LIVS acts as a personal assistant that makes the autonomous features of the car seem more approachable and user-friendly.
Currently on display at CES 2016, demos on the capabilities of LIVS are available, showcasing a possible future for automobiles of the future.
