Qt Group and LG Electronics are joining forces to embed the Qt software framework for application development in LG's webOS based ACPLG's in-vehicle entertainment platform. This collaborative effort aims to empower automotive OEM developers and designers to create more innovative, immersive content-streaming services for cars. This partnership builds on Qt's existing support for LG's highly customizable, open-source webOS, which is predominantly seen in consumer electronics.

Previously, LG relied on the Qt framework for easy, intuitive user interfaces (UI) and user experience (UX) in devices like smart TVs, Signage, Smart monitors, and home appliances. LG's ACP, however, is tailor-made for the in-car content-streaming experience. LG has already rolled out its in-vehicle entertainment platform for a major automaker's latest car models and partnered with global streaming services to bring new entertainment to the platform.

Qt will be a driving force in the future development of this automotive content platform as it's deployed to more brands' infotainment systems. The strength of the Qt framework lies in its out-of-the-box features and functionality that accelerate development processes. Qt has faster boot times and performance and operates more efficiently in memory usage, instilling confidence in its capabilities.
