Luna and Astra: Scalable Intelligent Driving System Solutions: Debut of the Intelligent Driving Systems Luna and Astra.

Together with its joint venture Horizon Continental Technology (HCT), Continental will showcase its scalable systems and sensors for autonomous mobility and debut its intelligent driving systems Luna and Astra. The entry-level intelligent driving system Luna offers active safety as well as assisted driving and parking functions, such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning and Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA). 

It meets the regulations and safety standards of various markets around the world such as Europe, Japan and India, aiming to improve the safety and comfort of daily driving. The system is ready for demonstration at Auto Shanghai.

The advanced intelligent driving system Astra supports L2++ driving functions and can cover a wide range of different driving scenarios. For example, the Astra system solution can realize urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) in China's complex urban road environment, covering narrow road detour avoidance, left and right turns without a traffic light, congestion, ramp scenarios etc., providing a safer, more comfortable and convenient experience.

In addition, Continental will showcase its intelligent driving sensors which are among the industry-leading solutions including the sixth-generation radar and cameras, supporting OEMs to realize intelligent driving at a cost-competitive level. The single-radar AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) solution meets the Chinese national standards in competitive cost. The corner radar supports high-bandwidth mode (2GHz), which can replace ultrasonic sensors in parking, thereby reducing vehicle manufacturers’ efforts in implementation and assembling and enhancing detection capability in cruising. In addition, Continental introduces the AI-powered Night Vision Camera, which substantially improves image visibility and quality at night.

Exciting: Intuitive Interaction Brings Personalized User Experiences

The Window Projection transforms the side window into an exterior display.
Continental is dedicated to offering users highly interactive and personalized experiences. The Window Projection transforms the side window into an exterior display, capable of showing users personalized content, such as their favorite sports team, charging status and trip information. The projection, which is visible from the outside, impresses by displaying the content in extremely high resolution directly on the windowpane. Invisible Biometrics Sensing Display combines secure authentication, advanced safety, health and well-being – all integrated invisibly behind an OLED display. With the camera integrated behind the display, it enables new designs and increases user acceptance. 

Additionally, Continental will show its advanced lighting functions. The Central Light Computer realizes scalable and premium lighting control via the software-defined way. It processes vehicle signals to control basic and high-definition light actuators, interactive social displays, dynamic interior ambient light actuators and near-field projectors. The laser-beam scanning based projection system enables 360-degree high-definition dynamic projections around the vehicle, displaying information like navigation guidance, safety alerts and personalized driver messages onto the ground – even in color.

The In2Visible Overhead Console seamlessly integrates the roof electronics with innovative surface materials that enable smart variant management while significantly enhancing usability and the overall user experience. It also bundles the increasing number of functions in the roof – be it actuator-driven (like the sunroof), the Intelligent Glass Control or sensors (e. g. in-cabin sensors).
