Aumovio: new display concepts and central computer with NXP processor
Aumovio replaced Continental at CES 2026 and is showcasing display concepts, SDV architectures, and technology for driver assistance and automation.

The company Aumovio, which emerged from Continental's automotive business, has been listed as an independent company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since September 18, 2025. Aumovio is using CES 2026 in Las Vegas to showcase its approaches for automated driving, electrical and electronic architectures for software-defined vehicles, and vehicle safety.
The focus of the Frankfurt-based company's trade fair appearance is the “User Experience” in the vehicle interior. Under the name “Branded Personalized Cockpit,” Aumovio is showing a modular multi-display landscape that combines various display technologies. These include two OLED displays and an E-Ink screen. Depending on the design theme, the colors and patterns of the dashboard change.

A camera, not visible from the outside, is integrated behind the OLED screen on the driver's side. Movies, for example, can be played on the even wider OLED display on the passenger side. The angle dependency can be increased so that the screen content is not visible from the driver's side.

Assisted and automated driving with Xelve
With the Xelve system platform, Aumovio addresses driver assistance and autonomous driving from Level 2 to Level 4. Aumovio has several variants in its program: Xelve Park for automated parking functions, Xelve Drive for assisted and partially automated driving, and Xelve Pilot as a fallback solution for highly automated driving according to Level 4.

The latest addition, Xelve Trailer, warns of collisions when maneuvering with trailers using surround cameras. It uses image recognition algorithms to detect obstacles and thus assist with maneuvering. Xelve Trailer is primarily aimed at the US market.
Development path to the software-defined vehicle
Aumovio's focus is on electrical and electronic architectures for software-defined vehicles. A central element is a Vehicle Control High-Performance Computer (HPC), which is intended to isolate safety-critical and non-critical functions in terms of hardware but still be able to process them in parallel on a single chip. The VC-HPC vehicle computer is based on the S32N79 processor from the S32N7 series from the Dutch company NXP Semiconductors.
Aumovio supports vehicle developers with a virtual environment including control units, sensors, and actuators. Functions can thus be implemented and tested virtually or in a hybrid manner.
In addition, Aumovio is presenting the concept of the “Automotive Remote Control Network,” which uses standardized components and communication protocols. Relatively simple components are intended to reduce the variety of variants – in more complex vehicles with more functions; several of these standard elements are simply used. This is intended to simplify the architecture but also to reduce production costs, as a dedicated controller does not need to be developed for each system.

Better visibility on night drives
Software for better camera vision at night is intended to ensure greater safety while driving. The enhancement reduces glare from the headlights of oncoming traffic and helps to recognize hazards such as obstacles on the road in poor lighting conditions.

Aumovio has also introduced the e-motor rotor temperature sensor (eRTS), a sensor technology for e-motors that enables direct, wireless temperature measurement of the rotor in permanently excited synchronous motors. Compared to the currently common software-based temperature simulation, the tolerance range is said to decrease from 15 to only three degrees Celsius.
