Several of France's biggest tech firms have combined to create this: the Software Republique H1st Vision concept ⚡ An apparent evolution of the Renault Scenic Vision, it showcases 20 new vehicle technologies...
The H1st is equipped with vehicle-to-grid charging so it can be used to power external devices – even your house, in case of blackouts. It features an automatic energy management system that communicates with the grid to manage electricity consumption, charging the car's battery when consumption is low and tariffs are cheaper and using it to power your home when rates are high.
Renault's shared-mobility subsidiary, Mobilize, has developed a specialised home chargepoint to take advantage of this functionality, capable of delivering 7-22kWh on an AC supply.Driver-attention monitoring will soon become standard on all cars sold in the European Union under the new General Safety Regulations 2 regulations, but the H1st goes a step further. It can monitor a driver’s heartbeat and breathing and then suggest changes in the interior conditions or breathing exercises.
The car also records the driver using a camera and dashboard mounted under the rear-view mirror, analysing your facial expressions and suggesting breathing exercises if you become frustrated. If you're unfit to drive or experience a medical emergency while behind the wheel, the car will send the aforementioned health data to an assistance service and set up a video call with a doctor.The H1st can access accidental data to alert the driver that they're in a hotspot, also judging this against the weather and live traffic data tracking vulnerable road users such as cyclists.
Communication with other vehicles also tells the driver when an emergency vehicle is approaching, giving them ample time to clear a path.The H1st features an array of ‘virtual sensors’ fitted to a digital twin of the car, accurately assessing the wear on key components such as the battery, brakes, tyres, gearbox and chassis. This also means the car can provide a specially tailored service scheduled based on its usage and offer advice to stretch its lifespan.
