The H1st Vision concept car, developed by Software République, is an impressive demonstration of future mobility solutions. This collaborative project involves renowned companies like Atos, Dassault Systèmes, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics, and Thales, collectively aiming to create a European framework for sustainable and safe mobility. With its focus on human-centered innovations, the H1st Vision concept car introduces a range of cutting-edge technologies to enhance convenience, safety, and the overall ownership experience of future vehicles.
Biometric Unlocking and Personalization
One of the standout features of the H1st Vision concept car is its biometric unlocking system, which eliminates the need for a traditional key fob. Utilizing advanced cameras in the door mirrors, the system recognizes the approach of a registered user from up to six meters away. Simultaneously, a unit in the B-pillar detects the user’s face, projecting a greeting onto the rear window and prompting the user to request access. Upon confirmation, the car unlocks and automatically adjusts the seating to the user’s preferences. This innovative biometric unlocking system not only simplifies access to the vehicle but also streamlines processes like car rental, sharing, and license checks.
Enhanced Convenience and Connectivity
The H1st Vision concept car prioritizes convenience through its intelligent features. The vehicle boasts a 16-speaker sound system that allows each occupant to make private phone calls, with the audio playing through speakers mounted in their headrests while canceling out frequencies near other passengers. This system also extends to on-board safety systems, such as the collision warning system. In the event of a hazard, the system plays a sound through the speaker located nearest to the potential danger, alerting the driver effectively. Additionally, the H1st Vision concept car can detect and warn of approaching emergency vehicles, ensuring timely and safe navigation on the road.
Smart Parking and Service Integration
Parking becomes effortless with the H1st Vision concept car, thanks to its smart parking capabilities. The vehicle offers three parking programs: “Closest” aims to park the car as close as possible to the destination, “Fastest” considers public transport and cycling options to reach the destination sooner, and “Economical” focuses on cost-effective parking options. Once parked, an automated chatbot can arrange and pay for various services, such as parking and charging, making the entire process seamless.
Innovative Technological Advancements
The H1st Vision concept car represents a convergence of cutting-edge technologies and showcases 20 concrete, operational innovations. These advancements include secure biometric access control, an exceptional sound experience within the vehicle, optimized vehicle range and charging, a driver and vehicle health monitor and assistant, and predictive alerts to ensure the safety of occupants and other road users. With the integration of these technologies, the H1st Vision concept car promises to offer an unparalleled mobility experience.
