Cabin offers valuable experiences as future living space
Panasonic Marketing Middle East & Africa (PMMAF), in celebration of its 100-year anniversary, brought its future vision to life with the unveiling of the Autonomous Living Space Cabin at GITEX Technology Week 2018.
The company’s booth this year in the region’s biggest ICT trade show was highlighted through an expansively themed showcase reflecting past, present and future innovations in its centenary year
Panasonic delivered its in-vehicle infotainment equipment to major global automakers for more than 65 years. There have been growing expectations for further evolution of such systems as vehicles undergo a major shift towards a future with autonomous and electric vehicles. Infotainment systems are expected to play a more significant role than ever before in improving vehicle safety and comfort.
To this end, Panasonic has developed the Autonomous Living Space Cabin, which is envisioned for various valuable experiences as future living space. Based on this concept, a luxurious, modern, and high-quality living space is created inside the vehicle. This next-generation cabin space offers four types of in-car environments: Living Room, Business, Relaxation, and Entertainment.
Speaking to LogisticsGulf.com at GITEX 2018, Anthony Peter, Director, Corporate Communications, PMMAF, remarked that this edition marked 20 years of the company’s participation in the exhibition. In response to another question he reiterated that the Middle East constituted a very significant region and a key market for Panasonic with a long-established presence.
“This year, as we mark our centennial milestone, we are not only honouring a century of achievements, we are also committing ourselves to another hundred years of empowering our customers with new innovations and technologies. The Autonomous Living Space Cabin concept is just one of the many ways we plan to create new value for the brand,” he continued.
In addition to the Autonomous Living Space Cabin, Panasonic also installed a vision theatre within the booth’s Future Zone.
