H1st vision
our vision of safer mobility of the future
H1st vision is a collaborative concept car from Software République and its 12 members. It embodies the Research and Development of Renault’s Human First Program.
The concept car features 20 functional innovations, available in both the concept car and its digital twin, and offers a glimpse of future mobility, with technologies designed to enhance the safety of all road users.

technology for humans
H1st vision constantly exchanges data with its surroundings. We call this smart city 4.0, a city that includes its vehicles and road users, who are particularly vulnerable to hazards on the road. Artificial intelligence relies on real-time data from road network maps, weather data and data coming from other vehicles to analyse the likelihood of an accident and detect any type of hazard such as an accident, a road defect or even black ice.
real-time vulnerable road user protection
Protecting all road users, not only motorists, is a top priority for Renault. Using real-time data collected and analysed via V2X* technology, H1st vision alerts the driver to potential hazards due to low or no visibility, when approaching a crossing, schools and bus stops, for example.
*vehicle-to-everything: vehicle that communicates with everything
a communication system making it possible for a vehicle to exchange information with its surroundings (other vehicles, infrastructures, pedestrians)

predictive emergency vehicle alert
In an emergency, every minute counts for first responders. To save time, H1st vision is equipped with a device that sends a signal to the driver indicating an approaching emergency response vehicle well in advance. All vehicles concerned receive the alert at the same time. Drivers can anticipate and make it easier for the emergency services to arrive.
predictive risky zone alert
In order to protect all road users, H1st vision alerts the driver when approaching a zone considered to be dangerous, displaying an alert on the central screen to increase their awareness. This innovation is based on accident statistics, road characteristics and the environment (reduced visibility, junctions), as well as real-time information communicated by infrastructures, other vehicles and road users.
a car that knows itself
H1st vision is equipped with ground-breaking virtual sensors capable of assessing the level of wear and operating efficiency of all the car's components in real time. It can generate is own Health Status*, which can be exported to a smartphone, including a description of the car, MOT history or simulation, GPS navigation system update status, etc.
predictive car health monitoring
H1st vision is equipped with ground-breaking virtual sensors to guarantee a safe drive and perfect vehicle integrity. These sensors are capable of assessing the level of wear and operational efficiency of all of the car’s components in real time, based on the driver’s use. This precise monitoring also helps predict the number of miles remaining before the next maintenance, as well as driving tips for extending the life of wear parts. Each time the car is started, a Health Status* is displayed by the avatar.
car health nft certificate
H1st vision can generate its own Health Certificate**, which can be exported to any digital device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). Secured by blockchain technology in the form of an NFT, this certificate guarantees the authenticity of the car’s history (number of owners, health status, etc.), as well as its MOT history or even an MOT simulation.
avatar
On demand, H1st vision displays and communicates, its health status via the avatar on the dashboard.
car health forecast
H1st vision alerts the driver of the need to service the vehicle on a given date (predictive alert).
*health status: health status

technology for your health
a car that looks after you
H1st vision makes sure the driver is in the right mood. H1st vision’s interior camera and microphone make it possible to identify the driver’s mood by analysing their voice and facial expressions. Depending on the mood detected, H1st vision adapts the lighting ambiance inside the concept car and can suggest breathing exercises if the driver is stressed.
technology for your health
H1st vision monitors the driver’s health. Sensors on the steering wheel act as an electrocardiogram measuring the driver’s heart rate and heart rhythm. Another sensor on the seat belt analyses the breathing rate.
After analysis, H1st vision informs the occupant of their current health status and suggests recommendations to improve it. In the event of any discrepancies in the referenced data, it suggests pulling over and contacting a doctor by video call. In areas where there is no network coverage, the call will be made via satellite.

an audio experience for safety
H1st vision provides hi-fi surround sound with its 16-channel hi-fi system. This innovative technology identifies who is speaking in the cockpit via a spatial microphone. The driver enjoys their own audio intimacy with the option of using the tweeters positioned in their headrest. They can make telephone calls and receive audio alerts directly in their headrest. This system ensures peace and quiet for other passengers.
personalised access secure access for all
1. Secure registration of profiles made quick and easy: name, height, face photo and recording of each user's gait.
2. Recognition up to 6 m through posture (left-hand rear camera) and up to 3 m via facial recognition (central mounted camera).
3. Greeting by the Software République avatar that invites the driver or passenger to climb on board.
4. A simple “yes” is enough to open the doors. The cockpit adapts to the driver’s or passenger’s body shape.
5. The camera located on the central rearview mirror identifies the occupant, starting the car according to the permissions saved.
