Converged Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Solutions Integrating Hardware and Software
Test-Drive the Autonomous Driving Mockup... Numerous New Products Unveiled
"Aiming to Become a Customer-Tailored Mobility Solutions Provider"
On January 6, LG Innotek announced that it will unveil its future mobility innovation solutions at "CES 2026," the world's largest information technology (IT) and home appliance exhibition, held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 6 to 9 (local time).
On the 5th (local time), domestic journalists are participating in the LG Innotek Pre-Booth Tour. LG Innotek
LG Innotek's exhibition booth has been set up at the entrance of the West Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), covering an area of 330 square meters. As with last year, the exhibition is designed exclusively around the mobility theme. Instead of displaying products as individual components, LG Innotek plans to showcase its product lineup as integrated solutions, grouping components by theme and combining them with software. This reflects the company's business direction to reposition itself as a customer-tailored total mobility solutions provider, moving beyond its traditional role as an automotive parts manufacturer, in line with the era of Artificial Intelligence Defined Vehicles (AIDV).
Upon entering the booth, visitors are immediately drawn to a futuristic autonomous driving concept car mock-up. This mock-up is equipped with 16 products related to autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
The mock-up presents solutions that cover both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. In particular, LG Innotek is highlighting its autonomous driving fusion sensing solution as its hero product. The company has combined vehicle camera modules with various additional features, LiDAR, and radar. Notably, the heating camera module, which quickly melts snow or frost, and the active cleaning camera module, which removes moisture and debris from the lens in just one second, are now smaller than before but offer enhanced performance thanks to LG Innotek's proprietary software. Also drawing attention is the high-performance, ultra-compact LiDAR, being introduced for the first time in partnership with the US company Aeva. This LiDAR can detect objects up to 200 meters away, addressing the long-range sensing limitations of cameras.
Visitors can also experience a test ride in the autonomous driving mock-up. By sitting in the driver's seat and viewing the LED screen installed at the front, they can indirectly experience the differentiated autonomous driving enabled by LG Innotek's sensing solutions. Through this test ride, visitors can also experience LG Innotek's in-cabin solutions. The "next-generation under-display camera module" will be unveiled to the public for the first time at this CES. Installed behind the vehicle's dashboard and barely visible to the eye, this product features LG Innotek's proprietary AI image restoration software, which maintains image quality while enabling precise facial recognition. Its dual recording function also allows for the creation of content such as vlogs while driving.
The autonomous driving mock-up also features another key in-cabin solution: the ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. Demonstrations will showcase the child presence detection (CPD) function and the kick sensor, which allows the trunk to be opened or closed with a simple foot motion.
Vehicle lighting solutions, which cover not only the front and rear but also the interior of the vehicle, are another highlight of this exhibition. LG Innotek has equipped the mock-up with daytime running lights (DRL), turn signals, and the "ultra-slim pixel lighting module," which won a CES 2026 Innovation Award and is installed on the vehicle's front. This ultra-high-resolution pixel-based lighting enables the display of intricate letters and patterns. On the side of the headlamp, the new "Nexlide Air" lighting is installed as a protruding feature and will be shown in physical form for the first time at this exhibition. All products are made of silicon, enhancing design flexibility and reducing the risk of pedestrian injury from debris in the event of a collision.
The connectivity solutions on display significantly enhance driver safety and convenience through a 5G-NTN communication module that ensures uninterrupted communication via satellite even in blind spots, a vehicle AP module that serves as the brain of AIDV vehicles, and a UWB digital key that incorporates ultra-precise short-range communication technology.
An EV mock-up, showcasing LG Innotek's core electric vehicle (EV) components at a glance, will also be separately exhibited. The EV mock-up is equipped with 15 EV integrated solutions, including the world's first mass-produced 800V wireless battery management system (BMS) and the Battery-Link (B-Link), which combines the battery and battery junction box (BJB) into a single product to enhance efficiency and reduce weight. Through these solutions, LG Innotek demonstrates the key technologies for simplifying EV vehicle architecture: miniaturization, weight reduction, integration, precision motor control, and wireless technology.
Moon Hyuksoo, CEO of LG Innotek, stated, "This CES 2026 is a valuable opportunity to secure new business opportunities in the autonomous driving and EV sectors," adding, "Through this exhibition, we aim to become a mobility innovation solutions company that delivers differentiated customer value."
