Four Companies. One Vision.
Every automaker is being asked to build a Software Defined Vehicle, but few are shown how to make it real. At CES, four companies come together to tell a different story.
One where software, electronics, lighting, data, and safety are designed together, not bolted on. Visit the CES Dream Team booth in the West Hall at Booth 6577 to see what a deployable SDV architecture actually looks like.

Geotab
Fleet Management + AI
Geotab’s industry-leading telematics platform integrates seamlessly with DragonFire OS to bring fleet intelligence directly into the vehicle. By leveraging in-vehicle screen real estate, Geotab enables drivers to receive clearer, more contextual information without relying on external devices. This approach improves communication, reduces distraction, and allows fleets to surface critical insights such as routing, safety alerts, and vehicle status exactly where drivers need them, within the digital cockpit experience.
ESS
Automotive Lighting and Safety Innovation
Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS) integrates proprietary software with advanced vehicle lighting to deliver real-time safety awareness both inside and outside the vehicle. By combining intelligent lighting protocols with digital alerts through DragonFire OS, ESS enables vehicles to communicate hazards more clearly to drivers, nearby traffic, and first responders. This unified approach enhances roadside safety and demonstrates how software and lighting can work together as part of a modern Software Defined Vehicle architecture.
OI
Electronics with Plug-and-Play 3rd Party Integrations
Ottawa Infotainment builds DragonFire OS as a foundation for plug-and-play automotive development. Designed to support a growing ecosystem of hardware and software partners, DragonFire OS allows automakers to integrate new capabilities without the heavy upfront cost and long development cycles of traditional vehicle programs. By standardizing interfaces across compute, displays, lighting, safety, and data systems, DragonFire OS helps teams move faster, reduce complexity, and deploy production-ready features with greater flexibility.
