Over the past few years, the vehicle cabin has evolved far beyond its traditional role as a functional driving environment. In step with broader mobility trends such as electrification, automation and software-defined intelligence, the car interior has steadily grown into a flexible living space – one capable of supporting a wider range of everyday needs during the journey. Building on this industry evolution, we at LG are exploring how in-cabin experiences may further develop through our next-generation concept platform, LG P-pod 1.0. This solution combines LG Mobility AI and advanced technologies developed across our Vehicle Solution (VS) Company. LG P-pod is the new name we’ve given to the digital cockpits that we develop to test advanced mobility innovations before they reach commercialization. The “P” stands for Prototype, highlighting its role as an early-stage concept and a practical testbed for our mobility technologies. The word “pod” refers to the cabin itself – a modular, human-centered space where multiple technologies work together. It also evokes the image of a pea pod, symbolizing how key in-car systems – from the head unit and displays to connectivity solutions and the Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) Vision System – fit seamlessly within one cohesive environment. At once functional and symbolic, LG P-pod represents a future-oriented yet emotionally resonant design philosophy – where innovation feels intuitive, and the name itself remains simple and memorable. Let’s take a closer look at how we’re using LG P-pod 1.0 as a test platform to drive in-cabin experience innovation. 1. Empathetic Interaction: Exploring How Cars Can Understand and Respond It starts with recognition – a car that sees you, knows you and responds before you even ask. LG P-pod 1.0 serves as a technology incubator, exploring how future vehicles might identify drivers through a Driver Monitoring System (DMS), retrieve schedules or prepare frequently used apps to support more natural interaction. These foundational technologies help us investigate how vehicles could evolve from simple awareness to context-responsive behavior. The adaptive portrait display shifts orientation for better visibility, while the LG Mobility AI-based voice interface provides a platform for studying more conversational, human-like interactions. Combined with front-camera data and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity, the system also enables research into precise stopping points or personalized in-cabin moments – such as lighting, music and animations that respond to special occasions like a birthday or an anniversary. 2. Personalizing Your Journey: Enabling Mobility to Adapt to Every Individual While traditional personalization has centered on the driver, LG P-pod 1.0 acts as a technology incubator for extending tailored experiences to all passengers. Powered by the Driver & Interior Monitoring System (DIMS), the platform explores how it can recognize the conditions and preferences of both the driver and passengers in real time, offering tailored entertainment – from OTT services and music to games and apps – instead of mirroring the same content across every screen. Shared experiences can also be enhanced. Group decisions, like choosing a restaurant, can be made through an on-screen voting feature that syncs results across displays. An AI recommendation engine suggests destinations, routes and entertainment based on contextual information. With profiles that follow each user and settings that activate automatically, LG P-pod 1.0 turns the car into a space where every passenger’s journey feels personal – whether it lasts ten minutes or two hours. 3. Expanding Time and Space: Shaping How Life Can Continue Seamlessly on the Road LG P-pod 1.0 reimagines the vehicle not as an isolated environment but as a lifestyle enabler that helps explore new forms of seamless connectivity. Through the Smart Telematics System and integration with smart home appliances, it serves as a platform for exploring how users might control home devices from inside the car – including air conditioning, lighting, robot vacuums and even pet feeders. Through real-time data exchange, the system also investigates ways to enable remote awareness of home cameras and sensors, helping to keep the home and vehicle connected and offering greater peace of mind while on the road. This seamless connection extends to entertainment as well. Videos or music started at home can resume playing inside the vehicle, making the cabin a natural extension of each user’s personal environment. By reducing the boundary between “on the road” and “at home,” LG P-pod 1.0 acts as a platform for experimenting with new connected-life experiences where travel time becomes an uninterrupted part of everyday living. “By leveraging LG P-pod 1.0 as an incubator for LG’s mobility technologies, we’re taking a meaningful step toward our vision of a ‘Living Space on Wheels,’ where the vehicle becomes a personalized environment that supports every part of your lifestyle,” said Alexio Rhee, head of Global Customer Strategy at the LG Electronics VS Company. “By combining empathetic interaction, multi-profile personalization and seamless connectivity between the car and the home, LG is redefining what the in-cabin experience can be.” We’re unveiling LG P-pod 1.0 to a global audience as part of our “LG on board” mobility campaign, sharing how elements such as intelligent understanding, personalized adaptation and immersive interaction may shape future in-car experiences. Through a series of stories – beginning with the first core value, “Empathetic Interaction,” revealed on December 15 and followed by additional values later in the month – we aim to offer a glimpse into a more meaningful way of experiencing life on the move. # # # View the full article

Integrating Advanced AI Models With High-Performance Computing Powered by Snapdragon Cockpit Elite Platform, LG Sets New Standards for the AI-Defined Vehicle Era SEOUL, Dec. 11, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in mobility technologies, is set to unveil its new AI Cabin Platform at CES 2026 in Las Vegas (January 6-9). Designed to run on automotive high-performance computing (HPC) systems, this innovative in-vehicle solution leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) and is powered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s Snapdragon® Cockpit Elite. LG will showcase the AI Cabin Platform for the first time at its private showcase during the upcoming CES, where guests can experience a digital cockpit featuring the AI Cabin Platform and preview the AI-defined vehicle (AIDV) – a new mobility paradigm beyond the software-defined vehicle (SDV). The AI Cabin Platform applies generative AI models – such as vision language models (VLMs), large language models (LLMs) and image generation models – to LG’s in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, opening the door to a new era of intelligent, context-aware driving experiences. Leveraging the high-performance compute capabilities provided by Snapdragon Cockpit Elite, all AI calculations are processed on-device and within the vehicle, eliminating the need to communicate with external servers. This enables real-time, more stable operation while enhancing privacy and data security by removing cloud-related vulnerabilities. The AI Cabin Platform analyzes the driving environment and the driver’s condition using data from internal and external vehicle cameras, enabling real-time personalized assistance. For example, if a nearby vehicle begins merging and the system detects that the driver has not yet noticed it, the platform can proactively issue a tailored alert: “A car is merging ahead. Please keep your eyes on the road and drive safely.” Additionally, the platform supports generation of customized infotainment user interfaces that adapt to external conditions. If the driver is listening to music on a snowy evening, the system can generate a matching background for the music playback screen – such as snow falling between streetlights or a festively-decorated village – and offer context-aware suggestions like: “It’s a beautiful snowy night. Shall I recommend some winter-themed songs?” Earlier this year at CES 2025, LG and Qualcomm Technologies highlighted their ongoing collaboration by unveiling the HPC platform – a high-performance computing solution that integrates IVI and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into a single control unit.

This year marks a special milestone for LG Electronics: the 50th anniversary of our Gasan R&D Campus, the birthplace of many innovations that have reshaped how people live. To celebrate the occasion, we held a commemorative event at the Campus located in Gasan-dong, southwestern Seoul, under the banner “50 Years of Technology and Passion, a Promise for Tomorrow.” The event brought together key figures from the Campus’s past and present – including research center heads and former division leaders – to reflect on a shared journey and reaffirm our commitment to advancing the global home appliance industry. Founded in December 1975 as the Goldstar Central Research Lab, and at that time located within the company’s headquarters, the Gasan R&D Campus was the first privately established research facility in Korea. At a time when most companies maintain small R&D teams inside their factories, LG made a bold and forward-thinking decision to establish a centralized campus in the Seoul metropolitan area. Decades later, this decision appears prescient, with the Gasan R&D Campus having time and again proven itself invaluable to our company’s mission – to make life better for customers around the globe. Beginning with just 10 researchers in a small, crowded workspace, the team quickly made history by developing one of Korea’s first domestically produced electronic POS cash registers in 1977. Energized by this early success, the lab continued to set new milestones for the nation’s electronics industry. It pioneered Korea’s first electronic Korean-English bilingual typewriter and independently developed Custom ICs, establishing in-house capabilities for semiconductor design and manufacturing. Building on these achievements, the lab rapidly expanded its scope from office and banking equipment to everyday home appliances – transforming fans, refrigerators and washing machines into electronically controlled, microprocessor-equipped devices. As projects multiplied and talent grew, the lab relocated to the Guro Industrial Complex, laying the foundation for what would ultimately become a powerhouse of home appliance innovation. Today, the Campus spans 20 floors above ground and five basement levels, home to specialized laboratories like the Clothing Science Lab and Air‑Science Lab. It has powered the development of category‑leading and life‑improving innovations to market. Among these are the LG Styler clothing care system; the world’s first Direct Drive (DD) motors for washing machines; linear compressors for refrigerators; and ThinQ UP appliances, which constantly evolve to meet users’ changing needs. The Campus also drives breakthroughs in advanced materials. Observing that enamel glass powder is commonly used on interior metal surfaces of electric ranges in major global markets, our researchers set out to create an easier to clean alternative. This led to the development of the LG EasyClean oven in 2013, enabling cleaning with only water. More recently since 2023, we have expanded our advanced materials business under the LG PuroTecTM brand – another milestone supported by the world-class capabilities at Gasan. As we reflect on 50 years of progress, the Gasan R&D Campus remains our strategic core – a place where technology meets empathy, where innovation is fueled by purpose and where our commitment endures: To deliver a Better Life for All. # # # View the full article
