Intel Launches Whole-Vehicle Solution At CES 2025, Software-Based Vehicle Innovation

JAKARTA - At CES 2025, Intel introduces Whole Vehicle, the latest adaptive control solution, which is designed to accelerate the transition of automakers to software/defined vehicle-based electric vehicles (SDVs).

This whole vehicle platform includes computing high performance, discrete graphics, artificial intelligence (AI), power management, and zone controller solutions as well as Intel Automotive Virtual Design Environment (VDE) which was developed together with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Our whole-vehicle approach provides a complete solution that lowers total costs for development and implementation, as well as empowers car manufacturers to build a faster, more efficient, and more profitable mobility future," said Jack Weast, Intel Fellow, vice president and general manager of Intel Automotive.

To support this platform, Intel introduced the Adaptive Control Unit (ACU) availability, which is designed for the electric vehicle (EV) power control system and the zone controller app.

So, when used on electric vehicle power control, ACU supports advanced algorithmic solutions that reduce the energy needs of vehicles from batteries, so they can automatically adjust high voltage and control frequency with the respective drivers' style and road conditions.

In addition, ACU is also claimed to be able to reduce costs per kilowatt and increase energy efficiency, so that vehicles can regain up to 40 percent of the energy from the lost power control system.

Also, increasing efficiency by 3 - 5 percent during the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Procedure (WLTP) testing. This means increasing travel distance, faster charging, and a more responsive driving experience.

Intel is also working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to present Intel Automotive Virtual Development Environment.

This collaboration allows faster vehicle development through virtual simulations that reduce the need for physical hardware, thereby reducing research and development costs.

"This collaboration provides integrated solutions that accelerate innovation, reduce research and development costs, and accelerate marketing time," he added.
