Faurecia invests in SUBPAC to develop an immersive sound experience
Based in Silicon Valley, SUBPAC has developed a hardware and software technology platform that provides a deeply immersive and customized music and media experience by silently transferring low frequencies directly to the body. Faurecia will integrate this technology into the seat as part of the company’s personalized audio bubble system.
The acoustic experience will be a key differentiator for the Cockpit of the Future. The SUBPAC technology reinforces our offer for an enhanced sound experience for each occupant whilst reducing packaging space and weight compared to traditional speaker systems.
Driver safety is another key feature of the SUBPAC platform. It could act as a crucial part of advanced driver assistance systems to discretely communicate with the driver, enabling faster response times to road and environmental conditions.
With their Cockpit of the Future initiative, Faurecia is the perfect partner to expand our mission to physically connect people with sound. Their support and expertise will accelerate our path by bringing the technology we have refined in conjunction with the top music artists, producers and studios in the world, to the hundreds of millions of people who listen to music in their vehicles every day - all while keeping them alert and safer on the road.
This investment in SUBPAC is made by Faurecia Ventures, which advances Faurecia’s innovation strategy by identifying, incubating and investing in start-ups with relevant technologies for Sustainable Mobility and Smart Life on Board.
