Human interface developer, Synaptics says it is collaborating with Valeo to develop an automotive touchscreen combining capacitive touch, ClearForce sensing technology and haptic feedback.

The developer maintains the human interface innovation allows drivers and passengers to more safely control common and emerging cabin applications with the touch of a finger, multiple fingers and variable force of one or more fingers on a touchscreen.

"Leveraging Synaptics' ClearPad ClearForce touch and force sensing technology in a single chip, this automotive solution represents new dimensions in vehicle user interfaces," said Synaptics senior director, product marketing, Smart Display Division, John Brady.

"We are pleased to be working with a leader like Valeo on new human interface innovations for automobiles and look forward to building on this key relationship."

Synaptics offers vehicle specific solutions which it says match the pace of consumer electronics human interface innovation. 

Synaptics' touch controllers, display drivers, and biometric sensors can be used for the automotive industry and will be implemented in numerous locations throughout the vehicle.
