Revolutionizing Vehicle Safety, Convenience and Comfort With Vision AI
SEOUL, Dec. 16, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG), a mobility sector technology leader, is set to showcase its latest innovation at CES 2025, packaged as LG’s “AI In-Vehicle Experience.” This AI-based in-cabin sensing solution is designed to bring greater safety and convenience to the driving experience, leveraging LG’s Vision AI solution to detect and respond to the needs of vehicle occupants while optimizing conditions within the cabin. Under the theme of “Life’s Good 24/7 With Affectionate Intelligence,” this AI-powered sensing solution will be displayed alongside other LG AI innovations at the company’s CES booths.
The AI In-Vehicle Experience begins by detecting and analyzing both the driver and vehicle interior in real time through two key systems: the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) and the Driver and Interior Monitoring System (DIMS). Both systems, powered by Vision AI, will be demonstrated through immersive, interactive simulations at CES, allowing attendees to experience the vehicle cabin of the future. These simulations will highlight how LG’s technology can accurately analyze driving conditions and driver status in real time, offering a hands-on preview of the AI enabled in-vehicle experience.
Central to LG’s vision for mobility innovation, the AI-powered in-cabin sensing solution intuitively adapts to individual preferences and needs, delivering tailored services such as personalized driving routes, real-time updates on road conditions and information on nearby infrastructure and points of interest. The DMS can identify driver’s physical health and emotional state through real-time heart rate monitoring and facial expression recognition. This system helps improve road safety by alerting users to their level of alertness and overall wellbeing, as well as giving them an effortless way to track their health over time. The use of Vision AI and sophisticated in-cabin sensors underscore LG’s commitment to implementing cutting-edge innovations that expand the mobility experience.
“With LG’s Affectionate Intelligence technology, LG’s exceptional in-cabin solution provides automakers with performance, quality and flexibility, while providing drivers and passengers with a safer and more enjoyable on-road experience,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle Solution Company.

At the heart of LG appliances lies its powerful Core-Tech, now enhanced with AI capabilities. This technology enables intelligent control of key components, enhancing energy efficiency, ensuring delicate performance and delivering tailored solutions that embody LG’s vision of a Better Life for All.
For instance, LG washing machines feature AI DD, which combines deep learning technology with the company’s 6 Motion Direct Drive technology. This system analyzes fabric types and optimizes washing cycles, utilizing six unique drum motions to provide tailored care for all kinds of fabrics. This not only enhances washing efficiency but also minimizes damage to clothing. However, LG’s commitment to enriching lives extends beyond products. LG offices worldwide actively utilize the company’s laundry solutions to benefit local communities.
In September, Typhoon Yagi ravaged large parts of Southeast Asia including Vietnam. In response, LG Vietnam took action to help the residents of Nam Định and Yên Bái by operating mobile and stationary laundry stations free of charge. This initiative allowed nearly 425 locals to clean approximately 3.5 tons of clothing and blankets.
To handle this significant volume of laundry, LG deployed over 60 employees to operate the washing stations, which were fully equipped with advanced washers and dryers. This ensured that every item was thoroughly cleaned and deodorized after exposure to contaminated floodwater.
This initiative builds on LG’s previous efforts to assist communities in central Vietnam affected by natural disasters in 2020, where free laundry stations across the Quang Binh and Quang Tri provinces cleaned nearly 1,000 kilograms of laundry.
Once this vital campaign concludes, LG Vietnam plans to donate the washing appliances used to educational and medical institutions in Yen Bai and Nam Định, ensuring they continue to serve the community. In addition, the company provided residents in 24 northern provinces with a special warranty from September 12 to October 10, covering repairs for LG appliances and electronics damaged by the typhoon.
In India, LG has embarked on a new business venture with the launch of LG Laundry Crew, a self-laundry service designed for college and university hostels, starting at Galgotias University in Greater Noida this February.
This service delivers the convenience of LG’s washers via the user-friendly “Laundry Crew” application, which facilitates reservations, operations and payments. This first-of-its-kind IoT-enabled laundromat system alleviates one of the biggest challenges of campus life, allowing students to save time for their studies.
To enhance students’ lives, LG India had opened around 100 self-laundry service centers in various college campuses across India and plans to further expand this service to reach 200 self-laundry service centers.
LG is equally committed to enhancing convenience for its commercial business partners. In Thailand, the company has expanded into commercial washing machines with the launch of its first LG Laundry Crew laundromat in February, coinciding with its launch in India. This expansion highlights three key strengths: strong consumer trust in the brand, specialized commercial washing machines and dryers tailored for laundromats and comprehensive after-sales services for store owners.
With Thailand’s flourishing laundromat industry showing significant growth potential, combined with LG’s 35-year market leadership in the washing machine segment, LG Thailand was inspired to introduce the LG Laundry Crew—a pioneering laundromat franchise prototype. As the first official LG-branded laundromat franchise in Thailand, LG stands as the sole provider of commercial washing and drying machines specifically designed for laundromats, enabling entrepreneurs to optimize their investments and reduce operational costs by avoiding oversized equipment.
LG’s established consumer trust and efficient after-sales support system underscore the company’s confidence in the success of this laundromat franchise venture. LG Thailand offers franchise owners an extensive range of benefits, including comprehensive after-sales support featuring complimentary monthly maintenance services for the first two years and bi-annual drum cleaning services to ensure consistent cleanliness and odor-free operation.
More importantly, in response to the recent devastating floods in northern Thailand that particularly affected Chiang Rai and Phayao provinces, LG Thailand launched the “#LGFreeLaundryService” initiative between September 19-30, providing the free laundry service to assist over 1,300 flood victims across three strategic locations in both provinces, helping communities cope with the aftermath of flood-damaged belongings and mud-soaked materials. This initiative exemplifies LG’s core brand promise of “Life’s Good,” demonstrating our commitment to delivering innovation for a better life that extends beyond mere service provision to meaningful community support.
