In March 2020, Elmos announced a new CMOS-based 3D ToF (Time of Flight) imager 'E527.31', which was developed for applications in the vehicle interior and exterior. The interior application will be used for the gesture-controlled infotainment system or the monitoring of the number of people in the car.
The demand for rear-seat infotainment systems increased over the past three years. Earlier, rear-seat infotainment systems were used only in luxury cars. However, to sustain themselves in the highly competitive taxi industry, taxi firms started incorporating innovative products and services to offer the best service to their customers. Currently, an infotainment system is one of the trending services deployed by taxi firms.
