Chrysler will use the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show starting January 5 in Las Vegas to deliver new in-vehicle technology experiences that it could feature in its future electric lineup.
The automaker will showcase Synthesis, a cabin concept that integrates AI-powered software systems sourced from parent company Stellantis, along with sustainable materials.
Software systems first announced at the end of 2021 and includes STLA Brain, STLA SmartCockpit and STLA AutoDrive. Chrysler will be the first North American brand in Stellantis to offer these systems. They are expected to be offered on Chrysler’s first electric vehicle in 2025. Chrysler showed Airflow concept at CES 2022 as a taste of what EVs can be like.
The STLA Brain is the back end, essentially hardware and software components, that support the elements that the occupants will experience, in this case the STLA SmartCockpit interface and STLA’s self-driving features. AutoDrive.

In General, the STLA SmartCockpit includes 37.2-inch screen space for infotainment. There’s also AI that “learns” the owner’s preferences over time, making the user experience more intuitive. A virtual personal assistant is also present and can sync the owners’ home, work and personal digital devices for maximum connectivity.
STLA AutoDrive in Synthetic is said to provide Level 3 self-driving capabilitymeans hands-free, non-observation operation under certain conditions, although Synthesis is only a cabin concept and therefore cannot be actually moved.
Finally, the concept is also equipped with sustainable materials that Chrysler can use in future products. Examples include recycled plastics and organic tanning solutions, and Chrysler also notes that no chromium is used.
Chrysler describes the Synthesis as a demonstration car, and that’s because the concept car can simulate the cabin experience of an actual car. For example, it can provide a welcome sequence and map out a day trip. It could demonstrate how self-driving features will work, including free parking locators and charging ports. The proposed cabin also offers something called a Synthetic Music Experience, which could allow occupants to create their own music, as well as experience meditation, karaoke and DJ games.
