LG Innotek announced on the 6th (local time) that it unveiled future mobility technologies encompassing autonomous driving and electric vehicles (EVs) at “CES 2026.” The exhibition runs for four days from this date in Las Vegas, United States.

LG Innotek’s exhibition booth, located in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, covers an area of about 100 pyeong. As in the previous year, it is organized under a dedicated mobility theme, serving as a venue to showcase the direction of the company’s focus on “in-vehicle electronic components technology.”

At the center of the booth, an autonomous driving concept car is on display. This vehicle is equipped with 16 types of components related to autonomous driving (AD, Autonomous Driving) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS, Advanced Driver Assistance System) developed by LG Innotek.

Unlike previous years, LG Innotek has configured the booth as an “integrated solution-type exhibition,” where different products are grouped together so that visitors can visually understand how they operate, instead of listing individual components separately. A key feature is the combination of hardware (H/W) and software (S/W) to simulate situations similar to actual driving conditions.

This configuration is part of a strategy to prepare for the era of AI Defined Vehicles (AIDV), where artificial intelligence defines the vehicle. LG Innotek’s plan is to go beyond the simple supply of automotive electronic components and transform into a company that provides customized mobility solutions tailored to each finished vehicle brand.

The autonomous driving concept car incorporates “converged sensing technology.” This includes a heated camera module that quickly melts snow or frost, and an active cleaning camera that removes dust or moisture from the lens in one second. While both devices have been reduced in size, LG Innotek states that the application of its own software has improved recognition speed and accuracy.

LG Innotek also unveiled an ultra-compact, high-performance LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) jointly developed with the U.S. sensor technology company Aeva. This product can detect objects up to 200 meters away, complementing the long-distance detection limitations of conventional camera sensors.

Visitors can board the display vehicle and indirectly experience driving scenarios enabled by LG Innotek’s autonomous driving solutions via a front LED screen.

At this CES, LG Innotek also unveiled in-cabin technologies for the first time. The flagship product is an under-display camera module. Although installed invisibly beneath the instrument panel, it enables accurate facial recognition by applying AI-based image quality restoration technology. It also supports a “dual recording function,” allowing simultaneous filming of vlogs and other content while driving.

The ultra-wideband (UWB) radar sensor also drew attention. It detects subtle movements inside the vehicle to provide child presence detection (CPD), warning if a child remains in the car, and it also supports a kick sensor function for opening and closing the trunk with a foot gesture.

LG Innotek has prepared a separate exhibition area for electric vehicles (EVs). The EV mock-up is equipped with an 800V wireless Battery Management System (BMS) and “B-Link,” which integrates the battery and junction box. Both technologies focus on improving battery efficiency, simplifying vehicle structure, and reducing weight.

In addition, the vehicle exterior features the “ultra-slim pixel lighting module,” which received a CES 2026 Innovation Award, and Nexlide Air, a new silicon-based lighting solution. These ultra-high-resolution lighting technologies enable precise graphic expression and are said to enhance pedestrian safety by reducing the risk of debris in the event of a collision.

The exhibition also showcased technologies that enhance vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity. Using a 5G-NTN (non-terrestrial network) module, vehicles can maintain uninterrupted satellite connections even in blind spots, while the in-vehicle AP module functions as the “brain” of the AIDV. A UWB digital key featuring ultra-precise short-range communication technology enables more convenient vehicle entry and ignition for drivers.

Moon Hyuk-soo, CEO of LG Innotek, stated, “CES 2026 is an important stage for securing new business opportunities in the fields of autonomous driving and electric vehicles. LG Innotek will lead mobility innovation with differentiated solutions that customers can tangibly experience.”
