Renault H1st Vision

Although it bears the Renault badge, the H1st Vision is actually the result of an open innovation ecosystem created by six major French companies (Atos, Dassault Systèmes, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales).

Under the umbrella of Software République, clear objectives have been set to help create a European ecosystem for sustainable, sovereign and safe mobility. Its roadmap sets the ambition to launch 10 new services and products, incubate 50 or more companies and offer services in more than 50 countries around the world by 2025.

Created just two years ago, Software République presents the world premiere of a collaborative concept at the Viva Technology 2023 exhibition. It incorporates functional and innovative technologies that illustrate its human-centric vision and the mobility of the future. Its name is H1st Vision (Human First Vision).

This vehicle functions as a virtual replica, a virtual twin in a digital universe where systems that are currently independent (infrastructure, energy, public services and users of different categories) communicate. This allows you to model, visualize and simulate the different use cases that might arise in the real world. Thanks to its interconnection with its environment, the H1st Vision is in constant dialogue with the digital and physical ecosystems.

The twenty innovations in this technology showcase focus on people. All are operational: they take care of the driver, his passengers and the rest of the road users.

The H1st Vision offers systems such as a completely new and secure biometric access control, a unique sound experience in its interior, an optimized range, a state-of-the-art load monitoring system and a driver health assistant. A predictive alert system helps protect occupants and others on the road.

H1st Vision is filled with the experience of Software République members, who are important players, and promising new companies selected for their unique contributions. It was developed by a team of 100 people in six months. With this concept, Software République is demonstrating the relevance of the open innovation model to incubate true industrial projects.

We don't know where this technological showcase will go, but surely many of its novelties will reach street cars in the not too distant future.
