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.

The way we work, learn and shop is changing fast. With hybrid work becoming the norm, education going digital and the lines between online and offline experiences blurring, there’s a growing need for technology that can keep up. Businesses today need tools that are flexible, easy to use and ready to adapt to whatever the day brings.
That’s exactly why we created the LG Smart Monitor Swing (model 32U889SA) – an all-in-one display engineered for modern enterprises. It’s a versatile smart platform that works without a PC, so you can use it anywhere, anytime, to boost productivity, improve communication and create better experiences for customers, students and teams.
Let’s take a look at how it’s making a difference across different spaces.
Retail: Overcoming In-Store Communication Hurdles
In retail – particularly in fashion and beauty – it’s all about catching the customer’s eye and sharing the right information at the right time. But we know that installing large, fixed displays isn’t always easy in busy stores.
The LG Smart Monitor Swing directly addresses these issues. Its vibrant 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution display serves as a dynamic digital catalog, showcasing product details and promotions with stunning clarity. Furthermore, its movable stand overcomes installation barriers, allowing for flexible placement anywhere in-store. This enables retailers to strategically position the display to capture customer attention or instantly repurpose a space for a live commerce broadcast – maximizing both engagement and floor space.
Hospitals: A Dynamic Information Hub for Patients and Visitors
Hospitals are busy places, and keeping patients and visitors informed can be a challenge. Static posters and signs can be missed, and updating them takes time.
With the Smart Monitor Swing, you can easily share schedules, health notices or service information in real time. Place it at the front desk to welcome visitors, in waiting areas as a digital bulletin board or even use it as a central hub for teleconsultations. And because it’s mobile, you can move it wherever it’s needed most – no more being tied to one spot.
Education: Transforming Passive Viewing into Interactive Learning
A common challenge in educational settings, from kindergartens to senior classrooms, is fostering sustained student engagement and enabling meaningful real-time interaction. The Swing transforms the learning process by creating a more collaborative and effective environment.
Its adjustable, high-resolution screen provides an optimal viewing experience for remote learning and group activities. Powered by webOS, the smart monitor lets students and teachers directly interact with educational applications and whiteboard functions via its touch-sensitive screen, turning passive viewing into an active, participatory experience.
Workspaces: Redefining Collaboration and Personal Productivity
In small offices or meeting rooms, space is precious. The Smart Monitor Swing can be your team’s central hub for sharing ideas, running video calls or working on cloud-based apps.
With its 31.5-inch 4K screen, it’s perfect for sharing content with small groups. Its built-in webOS platform further enhances collaboration by allowing teams to access home office apps, including video conferencing apps2 and cloud-based applications – all without needing an external device such as a laptop or PC.
The Swing’s versatility also introduces a new way of working for professionals who value a clutter-free desk, such as fashion designers who need space for physical samples. Its unique, independent stand liberates the entire desk surface for a clean workspace. The large display, combined with versatile tilt, swivel and pivot functions, makes it easy to hold spontaneous discussions over materials, fostering a more dynamic and interactive workflow.
Sports & Entertainment: From Simple Simulators to Premium Experiences
Sports and entertainment venues often face space constraints that make it difficult to install or reposition large displays. The Swing provides a mobile and flexible solution, delivering large, high-resolution screens that can adapt to different environments. In screen golf facilities, for example, its innovative swinging design enables optimal positioning and effortless repositioning. Featuring stunning 4K resolution, the Swing delivers a more immersive player experience than the low-resolution screens found in many simulators, rendering highly detailed course graphics. Powered by webOS, it also supports seamless customization of club branding, promotional events and time-based announcements.
The versatility extends to various hospitality applications. In hotels and VIP lounges, it ensures vivid visuals for branded content, promotions and event information. When placed in business hotel rooms, the monitor allows guests to work conveniently, using webOS apps to maintain productivity without a PC.
For us, the LG Smart Monitor Swing isn’t just another screen – it’s a core enterprise solution that helps businesses work smarter, communicate better and make the most of their space. And we’re not stopping here. We’ll keep creating innovative display solutions that break free from the limits of traditional monitors, so you can keep adapting, growing and thriving.

As president of the LG Vehicle Solution (VS) Company, IAA Mobility 2025 gave me the opportunity to present our vision to a global audience. I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Chris Jo, senior vice president and head of LG’s webOS Platform Business Center, along with our partners from Xbox and Zoom. Together, we are defining what it takes to transform the car into a true living space on wheels.
LG Automotive Content Platform: Driving the Future of In-Cabin Connectivity
As Chris Jo highlighted, we have extended webOS – trusted across 240 million devices worldwide – into vehicles with our webOS-based Automotive Content Platform (ACP). This enables automakers to deliver rich multimedia experiences such as OTT streaming, cloud gaming and video conferencing on a global scale. With full UI/UX customization and new revenue opportunities, the webOS platform is moving beyond the living room and shaping the future of the mobility ecosystem.
Xbox: Cloud Gaming Hits the Road
For Xbox, this partnership is an exciting moment, finding a new way to bring the joy of gaming to more people. Chris Lee, Vice President of Marketing at Xbox, noted the challenge of bringing the Xbox experience from TVs into cars, particularly around performance and seamless integration.
By leveraging our ACP, Xbox delivers a quality in-car gaming experience via its popular cloud gaming service, while LG manages the essential integration and certification work. This means passengers can access the same trusted Xbox Cloud Gaming service wherever they travel – during a charging stop or long road trip. Chris described it as making the journey “not only more entertaining but supporting the flexibility players expect from Xbox,” and I believe this underscores the true value of collaboration.
Zoom: Meetings on Wheels
Brendan Ittelson, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Zoom, spoke about creating a consistent collaboration experience across different vehicles – a vision that naturally aligns with ours. By integrating directly with our webOS-based ACP, Zoom can deliver updates and improvements as soon as they’re ready without waiting on OEM software cycles.
Drivers can join meetings safely in voice-only mode, and passengers can attend camera-enabled video calls, while Zoom AI Companion automatically captures summaries and action items in the background. As Brendan explained, “The in-cabin experience is quickly shifting from passive to purposeful,” becoming a place where people can stay connected and productive without sacrificing safety.
Affectionate Intelligence for the Road Ahead
Looking at the bigger picture, the future of in-vehicle innovation will be shaped by AI – what we call “Affectionate Intelligence” – that not only understands users but also seamlessly integrates functions for safety, entertainment, communication and comfort. To transform vehicles into true extensions of living spaces, LG must take on the role of orchestrator, working closely with our content partners and automakers to create a genuinely human-centered mobility ecosystem.
My key takeaway from the panel was that each of us – LG, Xbox and Zoom – brings distinct strengths to the table. Xbox is taking a bold step into automotive gaming, Zoom is working to redefine productivity on the move and LG is driving toward an AI-powered mobility ecosystem. Guided by these shared goals, the path forward is clear.
With webOS at the core and trusted partners by our side, we are accelerating platform-driven growth in mobility. The future of the car won’t just be about transportation – it will be about creating experiences that connect, entertain and empower us wherever the road leads.
