Ottawa Infotainment (Sean Hazaray) walks through a demo vehicle that represents a fast-growing niche: side-by-sides, ATVs, motorcycles, and neighborhood EVs that now expect “car-like” digital cockpit UX. The company positions itself as full-stack IVI and E/E architecture, spanning embedded hardware + OS, vehicle networks (CAN) and IO, and cloud-connected back ends that turn raw signals into driver-facing context on a large in-vehicle display. https://ottawainfotainment.com/pages/ces2026
A key theme is shortening OEM integration time by shipping pre-integrated building blocks instead of one-off engineering. In the cockpit, “infotainment” is framed as the orchestration layer for navigation, media, instrument-cluster data, and vehicle status, with an emphasis on configurable HMI that can be adapted across platforms and programs without restarting validation from zero each time.
Safety and fleet workflows are used as concrete examples of why tight integration matters. The vehicle shows attention-grabbing hazard lighting tied to Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS) concepts, and the broader message is that safety-critical alerts, coaching cues, and operational telemetry should live inside OEM-grade displays rather than on extra tablets, phone mounts, or aftermarket screens that increase distraction and training overhead.
Filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, the booth pitch is “ecosystem-first”: partnerships like Geotab (fleet telematics and data intelligence embedded into DragonFire OS as an OEM option), ESS (connected hazard alerts), and modular E/E work with suppliers like Pektron point toward a software-defined vehicle approach where cockpit compute, ECUs, and cloud services evolve together through upgrades rather than hardware swaps, faster.
