The famous German automotive parts manufacturer, best known for their tires and rubbers, brought several new techs to CES 2023, but one of its most iconic is the new Scenic View Heads-up Display(HUD) for the driver.

Instead of looking at one's dashboard and cluster for car information, the system moves up to the windshield glass, to help users focus more on the roads.

The system will bring its digital display on the lower edge of the glass, with an unobstructed view for all of the drivers' needs.

Valeo introduced a rather known technology to the public, which puts in a system for any vehicle to park itself in open spaces autonomously. This feature is called the Park4U, and it is a self-parking system that can teach any vehicle to do it for its owners.

No need to own a Tesla or a modern car to get the same auto-park systems in users' vehicles, as Valeo's technology can bring it to any car brand, old or new.

It made its debut at CES 2023 and is a current honoree of the showcases' Innovation Awards.

Mars Pilot Autonomous Driving for Freight Trucks

Another Tesla alternative, Mars Pilot delivers a new autonomous driving technology that centers its features on delivery and freight trucks. Its technology is available for $10,000 for every vehicle to equip and puts on seven cameras, its self-driving software, and a 15W PC to automate one's freight vehicle for a company's needs.

The company tested its technology with class 7, fully-loaded delivery trucks that already put in 200,000 miles for Mars Pilot's program, to prove its roadworthiness. Mars Pilot boasts to have not seen any accidents since.

The Mars Pilot autonomous driving feature will be available starting in October 2023.

Visteon offers an in-car display that will change how people use their dashboards and infotainment systems to upgrade their vehicle's interior. The Lightscape Panoramic Cluster offers haptics, force touch, and other features thanks to its advanced interface technology available on the system.

It features a multi-display, with an advanced pillar-to-pillar experience for drivers, and transforms the entire cluster for its users inside the cabin. This smart panoramic cluster also extends its capabilities to the back seats, with different displays available for multiple uses, at the same time.
