Vietnam-based technology corporation FPT and Korean chipmaker Telechips have announced their collaboration with the next-gen Digital Cockpit to deliver richer user experiences, higher safety standards, and faster innovation cycles—without adding hardware complexity.
FPT said in a statement on Friday that named Smart AI Cabin, the firm artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Intelligent Cockpit Platform delivers a plug-and-play, modular architecture for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking speed, flexibility, and future-ready scalability.
It also combines real-time edge intelligence, hypervisor-less virtualization, and an over-the-air (OTA)-ready software stack—featuring an AI Orchestrator that seamlessly manages 30+ modular agents to enable personalization, safety, and domain consolidation.
“This collaboration reflects a shared vision between FPT and Telechips to move beyond traditional digital cockpits toward truly intelligent, AI-defined in-vehicle experiences,
“By combining automotive-grade silicon with scalable AI software, we are enabling OEMs to innovate faster while delivering meaningful value to drivers and passengers,” said Nguyen Duc Kinh, FPT Software EVP and FPT Automotive Chief Executive Officer, FPT Corporation.
AI-powered Intelligent Cockpit platform by FPT is its AI-first design that embeds intelligence directly into the cockpit’s core operations.
In FPT’s optimized system configuration, running on Telechips’ Dolphin 5 SoC based platforms, the AI Orchestrator manages more than 30 specific AI agents running locally at the vehicle’s edge, with response times as low as 30 milliseconds.
By processing up to 95 percent of user requests on-device under 100 milliseconds, the system minimizes cloud dependency while ensuring real-time, context-aware interaction.
These AI agents cover a wide range of in-vehicle use cases, including driver preference learning, intelligent navigation, energy optimization, voice and face recognition, and advanced driver and occupant monitoring.
Each agent is designed to be modular and domain-specific, allowing OEMs to activate or evolve capabilities based on vehicle segment, regional requirements, and lifecycle strategy.
The cockpit platform leverages hypervisor-less virtualization, enabling hardware-level isolation with lower latency and reduced system overhead compared to traditional virtualization approaches.
This design supports higher determinism and safety while maintaining the flexibility required for modern multi-domain cockpits.
Combined with a modular software stack, the platform can be adapted easily to different E/E architectures and future OTA-driven feature expansion—without requiring hardware to re-design.
With more than 18 years of experience in Cockpit Domain Controller, FPT supports over 160 digital cockpit, HMI, and telematics programs, powered by 1,800+ automotive engineers, and works with leading OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide.
The tech firm currently holds key industry certifications including A-SPICE Level 3, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, CMMI Level 5, and TISAX, reinforcing its commitment to quality, safety, and cybersecurity.
Meanwhile, Telechips is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in automotive SoCs for digital cockpit, IVI, ADAS, and connected vehicle applications.
Designed for long-term automotive supply, functional safety alignment and system scalability, Telechips enables the transition toward software-defined and AI-ready vehicles.
