Summary
LG Electronics shares climbed as much as 23.95% to 279,500 won after the company unveiled new automotive solutions built with Alphabet's Google technology.
The lineup runs on Android Automotive OS and uses a single chip to control multiple in-cabin displays with different aspect ratios at the same time.
LG said that design can cut automakers' deployment costs for multi-display cabin systems, a key selling point as carmakers add more screens.
Demand for Android Automotive is rising because it lets drivers access apps directly in vehicles without smartphones; Future Market Insights values the market at $895.6 million in 2025 and sees it reaching $2.14 billion by 2035.
