On Tuesday, Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest line of chips aimed at the auto market. Samsung’s advanced chips will be mounted in Volkswagen’s infotainment system developed by LG Electronics.

There is a rising demand for “high-tech” automotive chips that can handle more entertainment consumption and increased electrical components in cars, said Samsung in a statement, saying that it plans to actively respond to the growing demand.

The advanced chips, developed by Samsung’s logic chip design business System LSI, include a chip which can handle 5G-based telecommunications for downloading high-definition video content during transit; it also includes a power management chip for stable electricity supply and an infotainment processor that can control up to four displays and 12 cameras at once.

This chip has been mounted in Volkswagen’s high-performance computer called In Car Application Server (ICAS) 3.1, developed by LG Electronics’ vehicle components business, said Samsung.
