The Institute for Information Industry, 4SA, and AUO Mobility Solutions held the finals of the AI Cockpit Perception and Visualization Hackathon in Taipei. Featuring creative and implementation tracks, the contest emphasized hybrid AI capable of running offline on Android HMI environments. Feng Chia University won the implementation gold with its voiceprint routing cabin, while team TapAble won the creative track with interactive smart window projection.
The Institute for Information Industry (III) and the 4SA alliance collaborated with AUO Mobility Solutions Corporation (AMSC) to host the finals of the AI Cockpit Perception and Visualization Hackathon at the NCCU Public Policy Center in Taipei. A total of 39 selected teams competed across implementation and creative categories, vying for 27 awards and total prize money of NT$700,000. The implementation track required teams to develop functional Android HMI applications showcasing hybrid AI capabilities that remain operational while offline. Feng Chia University's team won gold with 'rm -rf', a cockpit system that identifies passenger seating positions via voiceprints and routes media requests to specific screens. Chang Gung University's 'Takeit Lab' took silver with offline multilingual voice recognition for Bluetooth item tracking, while National University of Kaohsiung's team secured bronze with an autonomous cabin management agent that manages ventilation without unnecessary driver alerts. In the creative track, team TapAble won gold with 'Co-Creation World Window', an interactive transparent display concept that generates interactive stories based on external scenery. AMSC and 4SA noted that selected standout proposals will be evaluated for potential CDC platform porting, PoC validation, or showcases at global trade exhibitions.
