ARTIST8 is configured as an industrial product with an extremely high level of personalisation, which allows car manufacturers to concentrate on those elements that differentiate them from others, while also allowing for an added value towards theircustomers, without wasting time and resources in an attempt to “reinvent the wheel.”
The option to control up to 4 high resolution displays allows for a highly integrated user experience, capable of sharing information and moving content between systems that are usually born as separate entities. Centralising of functionality in a single system also allows for reduction of the number of control units on the vehicle, reducing weight and cost, as well as usage of space.
Thank to technologies selected by ART to build ARTIST8, the platform allow for the development of this content while respecting the norms of functional safety and cybersecurity required by the automotive industry.
ARTIST8 platform is provided with a framework software that allows all principal functionalities of modern infotainment systems and instrumentation straight out of the box
