From cloud to dashboard: experience the future of infotainment development at CES 2026

[keyword]


Every year at CES we try to go beyond showing technology; we want to give you an experience. This time, it’s the story of how in-vehicle infotainment is transforming development, and how developers can now build, test and deploy immersive experiences faster than ever.

This year, we’re excited to show a demo that combines the strengths of both Anbox Cloud and Rightware’s Kanzi, the leading software for creating rich, visually stunning infotainment interfaces. It demonstrates cloud-native development, automation and how virtualization can open up entirely new ways to design and test the next generation of in-vehicle experiences.

Automotive software development has become incredibly complex. Teams are often focused on their own discipline, UI designers on immersive experiences, Android developers on building integrations, and validation engineers on reliability across hardware variants. These teams cannot always work together seamlessly.

Testing an infotainment system means accessing specific hardware or prototypes, which makes iteration slow and collaboration difficult. Small design updates can take days to validate, and testing across different screen configurations or performance conditions is often limited by the availability of physical setups.

We wanted to change that by bringing agility and scalability to infotainment development.

In our demo, we’ll show how Anbox Cloud turns this traditionally hardware-bound process into a fully virtualized, cloud-native experience. By running Android in the cloud, developers can deploy and test infotainment environments built with Kanzi instantly, on demand, at any scale, from anywhere.

Our setup is a perfect match for Rightware’s widescreen 8K infotainment and group banking, powered by Kanzi. Developers can stream the exact same 8K version with Anbox Cloud. The result is an immersive, interactive experience, generated and streamed entirely from the cloud.

Thanks to Anbox Cloud, Android can be virtualized to any resolution, with pixel-perfect rendering and responsiveness. It can scale to dozens of Android instances running simultaneously, allowing teams to run automated tests, validate UI performance, and work in parallel on system updates. Your development becomes faster, collaborative and independent of physical limitations.

By moving your development tests to the cloud, designers and developers can collaborate in real time and see their changes without waiting for hardware to become available. Validation teams can run automated tests on multiple Android instances, across different configurations. For OEMs and tier 1 suppliers, this means shorter development cycles, which means more efficient resource use and faster results.

“Kanzi has always been about empowering designers and developers to bring exceptional in-vehicle experiences to life,” said Tero Koivu, Co-CEO of Rightware. “Seeing a Kanzi-made UI streamed at 8K through Anbox Cloud shows how cloud-native workflows can dramatically accelerate iteration and collaboration. It opens a powerful new path for teams building the next generation of connected, visually stunning automotive user interfaces.”

Join us at LVCC, North Hall, Booth #10562, and see the workflow for yourself. You’ll see how Kanzi and Anbox Cloud come together to deliver high-fidelity, scalable, cloud-native infotainment experiences, redefining the way developers can use Android in the cloud.
