Garmin Teams Up with Meta on Neural Wristband for In-Car Interaction

At CES 2026, Garmin and Meta jointly unveiled a proof-of-concept solution for automotive manufacturers that deeply integrates Meta’s Neural Band and its electromyography (EMG) technology with Garmin’s Unified Cabin in-vehicle system. The wristband can detect subtle gestures of the thumb, index, and middle fingers, enabling touchless control of the vehicle’s infotainment system. This solution aims to explore new paradigms for in-car human-machine interaction—reducing reliance on physical screens while delivering personalized, immersive entertainment experiences for multiple passengers, thereby charting a new course for the future of intelligent cockpits.
