“It took us over eight months to find a perfect partner,” he says.
“But this is about more than just the features.
This is also about the team and the partnership.
Epic Games and its Unreal Engine is used by game developers all over the world.”
you’ve got the option to expect big things from an Unreal Engine-powered infotainment system.

The wheels on the screen articulate according to the terrain.
The interface clearly shows off various stats and figures for the off-road angles and clearance.
“In the past, this process was tedious and used a lot of resources,” he says.
“The real-time 3D allows us to change that process, add real-time geometry in the system.”
However, there is a lot of misinformation about these driver assistance features and what they’re capable of.
Martin believes that having a cleaner interface will help to prevent confusion.
“The Unreal Engine will allow us to blend things together,” he says.
“The feedback loop is much quicker this time,” says Martin.
Then we need to re-render all of that data.
This process would take a week or two using our old tools.
It will save time and resources.
“To implement what the Unreal Engine is capable of, it’s much easier,” Martin says.
“With a different tool, it’s much less streamlined.”
“Unreal Engine can run on very little, and the requirements are pretty low,” he says.
This is important for the future.
The Hummer EV is the first app of the software in a consumer automobile.
They aren’t planning for this to be a one-off situation.
