News Release - Magna Showcases the Intersection of Electrification, Autonomy and Smart Mobility at CES 2019

AURORA, Ontario, Dec. 13, 2018 -- Magna heads to CES 2019 with an all-new exhibit showcasing the company's future vision of how electrification, autonomy and smart mobility intersect. From a full range of electrified powertrain configurations to demonstrating how flexible cabin space will better meet both driver and passenger needs, the ‘Welcome to Mobility' booth shows Magna's future destination, where Mobility is Technology™.





Reconfigurable seating will play a large role in smart mobility solutions of the future. Visitors can see through full scale demonstrations and a VR experience how long road trips, cargo transport services and mobile meetings can be transformed through technologies like haptic massage seats, personal sound zones and multi-sensor biometric sensing.

"At CES 2019, ‘Welcome to Mobility' is Magna's vision of the future where electrification, autonomy and smart mobility are all intertwined," said Magna CTO Swamy Kotagiri. "Leveraging more than 60 years of experience designing and developing new technology, Magna helps customers striving to change the entire vehicle experience, not just a few components. We are excited to demonstrate this holistic advantage at CES."

Features in the three key areas of Magna's presence at CES 2019 include:             

  • Electrification: Demonstrates how multiple powertrain configurations with scalable electric power for hybrid and electric vehicles are applied to meet the varying consumer demands for efficiency, performance and dynamics.
  • Autonomy: Showcases LiDAR object detection in action on a display screen and shows how Magna will master the complexity of autonomous driving through modular, scalable configurations for any vehicle architecture and autonomy scale.
  • Smart Mobility: Highlights new seating configurations and smart city solutions which allow vehicles to be used and shared differently by making them more adaptable to varying needs and infrastructures.

Magna experts will be on hand to answer CES attendee questions and provide additional information from Jan. 8-11, 2019. Visitors will find the Magna booth in the vehicle technology zone located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #5616.
