Garmin, Meta Platforms announce automotive OEM proof-of-concept

Garmin (GRMN) and Meta (META) announced an automotive OEM proof-of-concept that connects Meta Neural Band and its electromyography technology with Garmin’s Unified Cabin suite of in-vehicle technology solutions. Unveiled at CES 2026, the proof of concept allows passengers to control select vehicle infotainment functions with gestures sensed by the EMG band using the thumb, index, and middle fingers. The company said this initial concept sets the stage to introduce new interaction methods for displays and vehicle functions while delivering a true lean-back entertainment experience for multiple passengers.
