H1st vision
our vision of the 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.Through 20 functional innovations, available both in the concept car and its virtual twin, it offers a glimpse into the future of mobility, with technologies designed to enhance the safety of all road users.
technology at the service of humanity
H1st Vision constantly exchanges data with its environment. This is what we call City 4.0, where vehicles and road users, particularly vulnerable to road hazards, interact. In real time, an artificial intelligence processes data from road network maps, weather conditions, and other vehicles to analyze accident probabilities and detect all types of hazards, such as accidents, road defects, or icy conditions.
real-time vulnerable road user protection
Protecting all road users, not just motorists, is a priority for Renault. Through real-time data collection and analysis via V2X technology (Vehicle-to-Everything*), H1st Vision alerts the driver to potential hazards caused by poor or no visibility, approaching intersections, schools, bus stops, and more.
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X): A communication system that allows a vehicle to exchange information with its environment (other vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians).
predictive emergency vehicle alert
In emergency situations, every minute counts for first responders. To save time, H1st Vision is equipped with a system that sends a signal to the driver, notifying them of an approaching emergency vehicle well in advance. All relevant vehicles receive the alert simultaneously, allowing drivers to anticipate and facilitate the passage of emergency teams.
predictive risky zone alert
To protect all road users, H1st Vision alerts the driver when approaching a potentially hazardous area by displaying a warning on the central screen to increase their awareness. This innovation relies on accident statistics, road characteristics, and its environment (reduced visibility, intersections), as well as real-time information communicated by infrastructure, other vehicles, and road users.
a car that knows itself
H1st Vision is equipped with unique virtual sensors capable of assessing the wear and efficiency of all vehicle components in real time. It can generate its own Health Status*, exportable to a smartphone, which includes the vehicle's description, the history of technical inspections or their simulation, the status of GPS navigation system updates, and more.
predictive car health monitoring
To ensure safe driving and maintain the vehicle's perfect integrity, H1st Vision is equipped with unique virtual sensors capable of assessing the wear and operational efficiency of all the car’s components in real-time, based on the driver’s usage. This precise monitoring also predicts the number of kilometers remaining before the next maintenance and provides advice on driving habits to extend the lifespan of wear parts. Upon each start, a Health Status* is displayed by the avatar.
car health nft certificate
H1st Vision can generate its own Health Certificate**, exportable to all digital devices (smartphones, tablets, 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 the history of technical inspections and their simulations.

H1st Vision displays and communicates, upon request, the health information of H1st Vision through the avatar on the dashboard.
car health forecast
H1st Vision alerts the driver about the need to service the vehicle at a given deadline (predictive alert).

technology for your health
a car that watches over you
H1st Vision ensures the driver's mood is monitored . The interior camera of H1st Vision , along with its microphone , assesses the driver's mood through voice analysis and facial expressions . Based on the detected mood , H1st Vision adjusts the lighting ambiance inside the concept car and can suggest breathing exercises in case of stress .
technology for your health
H1st Vision monitors the health of the driver. Sensors on the steering wheel measure an electrocardiogram, heart rate, and heartbeat frequency. Another sensor, on the seatbelt, analyzes the respiratory rate.After analysis, H1st Vision informs the occupant of their current health status and provides recommendations for improvement. In case of discrepancies with the reference data, it suggests pulling over to the side of the road for safety and offers a video call with a doctor. In areas without network coverage, the call will be made via satellite.
a sound experience at the service of security
H1st Vision offers a high-fidelity sound immersion with its 16-channel hi-fi system. This innovative technology identifies the speaker within the cabin using a spatialized microphone. By utilizing the tweeters positioned in the headrest, the driver benefits from personalized sound privacy. They can make phone calls and receive audio alerts directly through the headrest, ensuring the peace and quiet of other passengers.
personalized and secure access for all
1.Secure profile registration, simple and quick: name, height, facial photo, and gait recording for each user.
2. Recognition up to 6 meters through posture (left rear camera) and up to 3 meters via facial recognition (central pillar camera).
3. Welcome by the Software République avatar, which invites the driver or passenger to get onboard.
4. A simple "yes" is enough to trigger the door opening. The cockpit adapts to the driver's or passenger's morphology.
5. The camera located on the central rearview mirror identifies the occupant, activating the car's start function based on the recorded permissions.
