To this end, the two companies signed a business agreement in Las Vegas, USA, and will jointly develop an IVI (In Vehicle Infotainment) system based on webOS Auto with voice recognition capabilities. They plan to develop a solution that will allow customers to more conveniently use voice recognition functions such as navigation and multimedia content playback in their vehicles.
WebOS Auto is a Linux-based automotive infotainment platform that supports a variety of services specialized for connected cars. It is a competitive market with many related companies in various fields ranging from SoC (System on Chip) to cloud services participating in WebOS Auto's open ecosystem.
Park Il-pyeong, CTO of LG Electronics, said, “We plan to accelerate the development of connected cars by working with Cerence,” and “We will continue to develop WebOS Auto to provide high-level in-vehicle AI experiences to automakers and customers.”
“We will do our best to help automakers and Tier 1s provide cutting-edge experiences to their customers,” said Sanjay Dhawan, CEO of Cerence.

[e4ds Tech Day 2026 ⑨] Sim Sang-gyu, Autocrypt CTO: "In the Physical AI Era, Automotive Security Must Extend Beyond the Vehicle"
At e4ds Tech Day 2026, Sim Sang-gyu, CTO of Autocrypt, explained automotive cybersecurity strategies in the era of Physical AI and SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle). Automobiles are evolving as part of an ecosystem connected to AI, cloud, chargers, IoT, and robots, and he emphasized that the scope of security must expand beyond the vehicle interior to the entire connected environment. In particular, AI model tampering, adversarial attacks, OTA updates, and EV charger hacking were identified as major threats. He explained that response measures require zero trust, AI model integrity protection, intrusion detection, Security by Design and Default, and full lifecycle security management, and that proactive security system establishment beyond regulatory compliance is critical for securing future mobility competitiveness.

Practical HIL Construction Strategy for Automotive and Off-Highway Controller Validation
As vehicle E/E architecture transitions to zonal structures and shifts to software-defined vehicles (SDV), the number of controllers (ECUs) requiring validation and software complexity are surging dramatically. Meanwhile, real vehicle testing cannot provide repeated verification under identical conditions and entails lead time and safety concerns. This white paper explains the principles of HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation and the structure of the NI platform composed of PXI, SLSC, and VeriStand, and through two actual implementation cases—Camera Record & Replay HIL for In-Cabin Monitoring Controller (ICMU) and Forklift Controller (VCU) HILS—describes how controller-level regression testing becomes possible. Additionally, it explicitly states application boundaries and limitations, such as lack of A2B support.
