AI Box lets carmakers add an AI brain inside vehicles without redesign

At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, South Korean semiconductor company BOS Semiconductors will unveil an innovative plug-in AI Box designed to add advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to existing vehicles without requiring redesign or replacement of current infotainment systems. This external AI computing module, powered by the Eagle-N AI accelerator, enables carmakers to rapidly integrate high-performance AI features such as autonomous driving support, software-defined vehicle functions, and real-time physical AI decision-making into both new and refreshed car models. The AI Box connects flexibly with existing vehicle electronics, allowing AI-intensive tasks to be offloaded to the module while preserving the original system functions. The AI Box operates on an on-device AI architecture, processing sensitive data like voice and video within the vehicle itself rather than relying on cloud computing. This approach enhances data privacy, security, and system stability regardless of network connectivity, while also reducing cloud traffic and associated costs over time. By minimizing platform changes and cutting development time and expenses, BOS Semiconductors aims to accelerate the
