Canatu公司：让车内更多材质变成触控屏

电动化和智能化已经是未来汽车的发展趋势了，日前，芬兰一家科技公司Canatu认为汽车应该更加智能化，他们使用纳米碳材料可以让车门、车内皮革制品等表面都成为3D触控屏。

　　Canatu公司的这种纳米碳材料可以拉伸超过200%，并且弯曲、折叠的半径小于1毫米。Canatu公司希望通过他们的技术，将3D触控屏融合到车内各种材料当中，包括车门、车内皮革制品等。Canatu就曾与汽车零部件厂商佛吉亚合作帮戴姆勒研发一款概念车门，该车门配备了整合透明、加热成形的触控传感显示屏，可以通过一块面板来操控车窗和座椅功能。

这家芬兰技术公司的另一种产品可以确保在不耗费大量电池电量的情况下，避免激光雷达传感器雾化或结冰。该公司的首席执行官Kokkonen表示，这对电动车来说是一项关键功能，因为在部分场景下，对比传统解决方案可节约用来解冻玻璃的电量。

　　Canatu公司是从芬兰阿尔托大学（AaltoUniversity）独立，分别由来自美国、芬兰、俄罗斯和中国的四位教授成立。目前汽车零部件厂商佛吉亚和日本的电装公司也持有Canatus的部分股份，该公司已经经营了14年，其部分解决方案已经计划投入生产中，Kokkonen表示这些技术未来三到四年时间或将投入到现有车型当中。
