Linked to mood-analysis software, an onboard camera and microphone also monitor a driver’s voice and facial expressions, and make appropriate adjustments (temperature, lighting, screens) or suggestions via an onscreen digital avatar. An inertial MEMS sensor in the steering wheel, with a seatbelt-mounted accelerometer, captures a driver’s heartbeat, its pattern and electrical signals.
The H1st might respond by analyzing the driver’s mood and health, suggesting a breathing exercise, or even speed-dialing a health professional for a videoconference.
H1st Vision - Health monitoring assistant Software République/youtubeĬertain old-school car fans might hop aboard the H1st, see a Renault hatchback crossed with David Hasselhoff’s K.I.T.T., and turn cranky. Combined with a Mobilize Powerbox charging station-a collaborative design with Software République-and its V2G (vehicle-to-grid) service, Renault drivers could save money on electricity bills by selling juice back to the grid.
First up is a smart, bidirectional, Level 2 charger for the upcoming Renault 5 EV, which operates at up to a speedy 22 kilowatts. The consortium targets the market launch of 10 new automotive services and products, and to incubate at least 50 star-ups, in 50 different “geographies” by 2025. Software République describes itself as an open “European collaborative ecosystem” between six companies- Renault, Atos, Dassault Systemes, Orange, STMicroelectronics, and Thales. “The reason automakers don’t mention power much anymore is because it matters less and less,” said Mark Wakefield, global coleader of automotive and industrial practice at consulting firm AlixPartners. The French car comes on the heels of BMW’s iVision Dee, (“Dee” standing for “Digital Emotional Experience”) another concept car whose silicon wizardry took precedence over traditional BMW concerns such as horsepower and handling.Ĭertain old-school car fans might hop aboard the H1st, see a Renault hatchback crossed with David Hasselhoff’s K.I.T.T., and turn cranky. Those creators are Software République, which unveiled the faceted, four-door hatchback at the Viva Technology 2023 exhibition in Paris. The latest is the H1st Vision, a car so software-driven that its creators barely nodded to its electric power train or Renault-based chassis. More and more, they’re about looking inside the microchips, and the cool features, services, and competitive edge they can provide. Concept cars used to be all about looking under the hood.
