Cockpit is the core carrier to realize the space scene，which puts forward higher requirements for human-machine interaction，intelligent internet connection，entertainment information system and other technologies in the cockpit. In the era of “software defines cars”，intelligent cockpit will be the focus of major OEMs，as well as the focus of consumers. Firstly，this report defined the concept that the intelligent cockpit should be an intelligent space integrating “home，entertainment，work and social”，and then made an in-depth research and analysised on the development status of the cockpit from aspects of cockpit hardware equipments and software system. At the hardware level，the rapid development of AI chip provides a strong support for cockpit technology. At the same time，a new generation of technology and products of vehicle display，human-machine interaction，network communication and health systems have been loaded into a new generation of intelligent cockpit. For software aspect，Google Android automotive system，Huawei Hongmeng OS2.0，Baidu，Tencent，Zebra and other automotive operating systems have been launched one after another，greatly improving the user experience. In the future，the intelligent cockpit is becoming more and more digital. According to the current situation，the driver’s state perception technology and multimodal interaction are also important development directions of the cockpit.
